Search the full text of the Journal Officiel
search_jo_textSearch the full text of the acts published in the Algerian Journal Officiel since 1962 (French edition: laws, ordinances, presidential and executive decrees, orders, decisions, Bank of Algeria regulations, corrigenda), not only their titles. Each match gives the year, the issue, the place of the act in the issue (ord), its type, its number when it has one, its title, its first page, an excerpt around the words and the links to the issue page and the official PDF; get_jo_act then returns the whole text. Words are matched in French with accents and case ignored and plurals folded (for example "redevance dossiers investissement"); quotes search an exact phrase, OR offers alternatives and a leading minus excludes a word. Best matches first. Use it to find which text sets a rule, a rate, an amount or a procedure, then read that text with get_jo_act before quoting it. The text is the official one as published: an act amended since appears as it was printed. From 2002 the text is the one of the official PDF (source pdf); from 1962 to 2001 it was read from the scans by three independent machine readings, each word kept when two of them agree (source scan), and a passage no two readings gave alike is marked [[? ... ?]] (uncertain counts them in an act): check such a passage on the PDF before quoting it. Without an API key, only the current year and the two before it, and at most 10 matches (meta.free_years, meta.truncated). Algeria only (country DZ); other countries return country_not_available.
