directEDGAR’s Search, Extraction & Normalization Engine is a platform designed to accelerate the collection of data from SEC Filings.
It all starts with Search and we have the most powerful search engine for SEC EDGAR filings on the market. Our search tool is designed to take as complex of a search as you can imagine, parse it and then apply it against our full text indexes to identify the documents that match your search criteria. We have a wide range of search operators that provide you more control over your search.
In addition, we have some unique filtering tools to make sure your search results are relevant. For example, we were the first to implement CIK filtering as well as the first to create a CIK-DATE filter option.
One of our important advantages is that when your search is finished – our platform loads the documents right there for you to work with or review as you see fit. This is a significant difference between our platform and others where the results are presented as a list of hyperlinks that you still have to open.
Our Extraction features are designed to allow you to pull the results you need from your search. If all you need is a listing of the documents that met your search criteria – that is a button push away and our summary includes critical metadata about the filer, the document and the search results. Do you want the context around your search results? We provide that. Do you need the actual document to do some other manipulation – we can provide that. Do you need specific tables that you can identify using words and phrases in those tables – that is another possibility.
If you are here you are generally looking to do more than just identify specific documents. You probably are also facing the challenge of Normalizing something about your search results. We have tools to support this work as well. Our tools range from the ability to pull numeric values from search context and place it into a spreadsheet column to tools that allow you to normalize tabular data faster and easier than you can imagine.
In addition – we have some unique databases that we have built based on the research we have seen our clients complete.
