What it does
- Search everything since 2001. Full text of every EDGAR filing — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, proxies, and the exhibits where the interesting language hides.
- Filters that should have been there. Form type, date range, company or CIK — without learning EDGAR's query syntax.
- Match preview on click. The SEC's search API returns no context around hits, so FilingScout fetches the filing you click and shows the matching passage, highlighted.
- Saved searches & CSV export. Re-run your screens in one click; export result sets for your research log. Free.
- Private by design. Queries go to the SEC, nothing goes to us. No account, no tracking.
Who it's for
Analysts, securities and M&A lawyers, auditors, journalists, and short sellers — anyone whose job is finding a phrase across thousands of filings. If you need a company's numbers in a spreadsheet instead, that's FilingSheet.
