# Search the Code

Search matches the words of the document. Ask in the words the document would use, not the words of the question.

Put the words in the address: https://georgiacommons.org/code/search.md?q=security+deposit. Add `&in=headings` to search only the title, chapter, and article headings, `&scheme=ga` or `&scheme=us` for a constitution, and `&title=` or `&chapter=` to narrow.

A citation is a direct lookup: https://georgiacommons.org/code/44-7-34.md. The map of the Code: https://georgiacommons.org/code/index.md. Acts by name: https://georgiacommons.org/code/acts.md.
