Search tips:

  • To search for a specific company’s annual report, enter a company's name, or click Browse companies to open the Browse Companies window. The terms in the Browse Companies window are listed in alphabetical order, making it easy for you to browse them. Scan the list for the term you want to use for your search.

    You can move to terms starting with a particular letter by entering the letter in the box and clicking Find Term. You will be taken to the first term beginning with that letter.

    You can also search for a company using Find Term. Enter the term in the box and click Find Term. You will be taken to the nearest match (alphabetically). If you reach the end of a page and haven't come to the term you want, just click Next to move to the next page. When you've found the word you're looking for, click Add to Search to add the term to your current search.

  • To limit your search by date, select the radio button for one of the predefined date ranges:
    • In this year (reports published in the specific year you define)
    • Before (reports published in the year specified and all previous years)
    • After (reports published in the year specified and all subsequent years)
    • From / To (reports published during the range of years you specify)
      Search using years such as 1984 or 2000, do not include months.

  • There are three choices to sort your search results. You can select to sort by most relevant first, oldest (historical) first or most recent first. To change the sort on your search results use the drop down box in the upper right hand corner of the search results screen.
