Sec.Gov Now Providing Full Text Search of 4 Years of EDGAR Filings

Sec.Gov Now Providing Full Text Search of EDGAR Filings

We first reported the beta back in June. Today, the SEC has announced that,

...that investors are now able to search the contents of the disclosure documents filed electronically with the SEC using a new full-text search tool on the Commission's website. The newly searchable information includes registration statements, annual and quarterly reports, and other filings by companies and mutual funds filed during the past four years on the Commission's EDGAR database.

The EDGAR full-text search allows users to enter a keyword or conceptual search query and retrieve a list of related filings. Searchers may also make use of Boolean operators and wildcard capabilities.

A full text search of a filing includes all data in the filing as well as any attachments. Other features of the EDGAR Full-Text Search tool include:

* Search by specific filing type
* Search by company name
* Search by Central Index Key (CIK) code
* Search by industry or Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code
* Search results limited by date range.

Direct to Database. Click "Advanced Search" for more options.

NOTE:This enhanced search service is only available for the past 4 years of filings. The beta offered 2 years of EDGAR documents.

More in this news release.

Thanks to P.W. for the news tip.
