Search syntax
When entering a company name, you can only search for ONE company name at a time. You cannot use boolean operators such as "AND" to search for more than one company. For example: if you enter "Company A and Company B" you will NOT have any results.
Putting your text in quotation marks is not necessary. For example: "123 Company Ltd." will return the same results as 123 Company Ltd. (without the quotes).
Wildcards (such as using an asterisk), will NOT work to search for word variances. For example: Company* will NOT have any results. If you do not know the full spelling of a company name, then just type in partial text. The search looks for partial words. For example, entering "123 Company" will return "123 Company" and "123 Company Ltd.".
