Chris:
With each to do item, there is a tab for recording research results. What I
typically do is use that tab to document whether or not I found anything, what
day it was searched etc (because resources are always changing - databases are
frequently adding new records, etc). I'll mark the to do item as closed, but I
can always go back and see what I have and have not searched.
