Running a Search
- Type your search into the Document Search box. The Search in Documents box can be found on the left side of every company page. Type in what you want to search for and click the magnifying glass (or hit enter).
- Select a Document. The results page consists of a list of filings and transcripts, grouped by category and ordered chronologically. This organization helps you quickly find the results you are looking for. Click on the filing or transcript to see the list of all the mentions of your search term within that document.
- Use snippets to jump between results. Documents can be long, and scrolling to find your results can be extremely tedious. Instead, click each result snippet in order to automatically be brought to that result within the document, no scrolling required. The terms from your query that matched will have a green background, and some of the surrounding text will have a grey background.
👍 That's not all!
