An Alternative to Using a Suggested Westlaw "Power String"

In A power search string to find the elements of a cause of action (Westlaw Insider), a West Reference Attorney suggests that the next time you need the elements to an action try the following search:

ELEMENTS PRIMA-FACIE (STATE +1 #A +4 CASE CLAIM) (NECESS! REQUIR! MUST +5 SHOW! PROVE PROOF DEMONSTRAT!) /10 (INTERFER! /5 PROSPECTIVE /5 BUSINESS CONTRACT)

Ah, OK. How about just using the index to Causes of Action, 1st and 2d edition? [JH]
