Good question. Right now, Westlaw charges something like $100 per search in ALLCASES, which is their database of all federal and state court opinions ever written. Just to retrieve a single document by citation is something like $10.
The general trick is to try to craft a very broad 'initial' search that will encapsulate all of your results; you can create sub-searches within that set of retrieved documents (limited to at most around 3,000) at no additional cost.
- jcoder 15y agoWell, you're not talking ALLCASES, you're looking at academic commentary. Maybe better to pursue a solution that uses HeinOnline?

- law 15y agoYeah, the trick is finding services that offer full-text searching. Unfortunately, that's pretty difficult to find. Google Scholar would probably work best in most cases, though.
