About quick searches


Quick search toolbar

When performing a quick search, the system searches all products within the selected group. Simply enter the ticker and/or portfolio on which you want to search. If you select the Commingled Research option in the Product Menu, you receive Notes, Research Direct, and BondCall headlines.

  • Ticker/Company
    You can specify any number of tickers (company symbols), separated by a space or a comma, or you can type a company name.
    Note: If you enter a company name, you must change the symbol set to Company Name.
  • Primary Ticker
    Select this to indicate that the ticker(s) you entered is the primary ticker. A primary ticker indicates the most relevant ticker that is indexed in a note or document.
    Important: Not all historical documents are indexed by primary ticker. When a primary ticker is not available, the system uses the first indexed ticker as the primary ticker.
  • Symbol Set
    Specifies the symbol set in which to search. If you do not wish to specify a symbol set, you may select All Symbol Sets. This
    produces results form all symbol sets that match the ticker you entered.
    Note: If you enter a company name in the Ticker/Company box, you must select Company Name in the Symbol Set box.

  • Portfolio
    If you want to quickly locate those securities you track regularly, you may want to specify a portfolio you have saved previously, or create a new one. You can select both a portfolio and a ticker to search by. Combining these search criteria does not add the company symbol to the portfolio.

  • Days Back
    Specifies a date to use when searching for headlines. For example, if you select 38 days back, the system searches for headlines submitted only on those days.
  • To commingle search results from all products (Research Direct, Notes, BondCall Direct), select Commingled Research from the Product Menu.
  • For any search, the options you have specified on the Preferences tab will be applied. You can change those preferences at any time. If you want to use different options for a particular search without changing the Preference defaults, click the Advanced Search tab and specify the desired criteria.
  • Click the More link at the bottom of your search results to retrieve more headlines on the specified search criteria.
