Quick Search

Quick Search lets you move around Praktik and find legislation without leaving the page you are currently on.

Press Ctrl-K on Windows/Linux or Cmd-K on macOS.

A search menu opens on top of the current page. Start typing immediately to search, or choose one of the recommended destinations.

Quick Search includes shortcuts to commonly used areas of the app. Type the name of a section, a related keyword, or a common alternative name. For example, you can type terms such as “documents”, “laws”, “court”, “settings”, or their Slovak equivalents where available.

Quick Search recommended destinations and navigation results

You can also search directly for legislation from the same menu. Search works with:

  • Official names of acts and regulations
  • Common short names and abbreviations
  • Legislation numbers and codes, such as 311/2001 or 1/2023
  • Topic-style queries, where available in the legislation index

The jurisdiction selector in the search box controls which jurisdiction is searched, for example Slovakia or Czechia.

Selecting a legislation result opens the latest available version of that legislation. If the result points to a specific section, Praktik opens the legislation page and focuses that section.

Quick Search legislation results with the jurisdiction selector

  • Use Ctrl/Cmd-K whenever you want to jump somewhere quickly.
  • If you know a law number, type it directly.
  • If you do not know the exact number, type the law name, abbreviation, or a few words describing what you are looking for.
  • Change the jurisdiction before searching if you want results from another country.

Press Esc, click outside the menu, or select a result to close the menu.
