We are excited to announce a significant new addition to our company search software – Descriptive search. This is set to change the way you search for companies, making your research faster, more precise, and more intuitive than ever before.

The power of Descriptive search

Until now, you've been using keywords to find companies in our database. This is how most company databases work: keywords, or some even worse: industry codes that don't match. While using keywords has been effective, we believe there's always room for improvement. That's why we've developed Descriptive search.

Instead of relying on specific keywords, Descriptive search allows you to describe the company you're looking for in your own words. Our sophisticated AI then analyzes your description, understands your unique requirements, and delivers results that match your description.

How it works

Descriptive search leverages the latest AI models to understand the context and nuances in your description. It then goes through our extensive database to find companies that align with your description. This not only saves you time but also enhances the accuracy of your search results. 

Often, it is easier to describe than to define the exact keywords.

Why Descriptive search?

We believe that Descriptive search is a significant step forward in company research. Whether you're looking for M&A targets, competitors or potential buyers, this can increase your efficiency and accuracy. By allowing you to express what you're looking for in your own words, it gives you the power to conduct more nuanced and targeted searches. This ultimately leads to more accurate results, helping you find exactly what you're looking for faster than ever before.

Frequently asked questions

  1. How do I use Descriptive search?

Simply type a detailed description of the company you're looking for into the search bar, and our AI will do the rest!

  1. Does Descriptive search replace keyword search?

Yes and no. You have the freedom to use keywords, example companies, Descriptive search, or even a combination of all at the same time. However, we believe that for many, the Descriptive search will be the most efficient and straightforward way to find exactly what they're looking for. We've seen a significant improvement in search precision with our customers using descriptive search! Yet, those who prefer to control their search with highly specified keywords, negative keywords, or weighted keywords - using the keyword search can still be the best choice. So, it largely depends on your personal preference and the purpose of your search

You can still search by using keywords or example companies, if you prefer. But, we believe that once you try the Descriptive search, you won't go back. We've seen this improve search accuracy tremendously. But hey, at the end of the day it's up to you to decide how you search best: with example companies, with keywords, or with the new Descriptive search! You can also use all of them simultaneously to get the most control over your search criteria.

  1. How accurate is Descriptive search?

Descriptive search is powered by the most advanced AI algorithms and NLP technology, which have been trained to understand context and nuances. This means it's highly accurate at matching your descriptions to the right companies.

  1. What if I don't get the results I'm looking for?

If you're not getting the results you want, try refining or changing your description. The more specific and detailed you are, the better the results will be.
