EDGAR Full-Text Search
Search any phrase across every SEC filing — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, proxies. Find which companies are saying what about a risk, customer, competitor, or technology.
Why this exists
SEC Filings Watch on this site answers "what has Company X filed lately." This tool answers a sharper question: which companies — across the entire EDGAR corpus — are saying a specific thing? Looking for everyone disclosing a particular ransomware vendor as a risk factor? Every company referencing a customer you're considering? Every S-1 mentioning a particular regulatory regime? Phrase search is the right shape.
Pair this with Filings Watch (by company) and Regulatory Radar (by federal rule) and you have most of the public-filings diligence stack covered.
Frequently asked questions
What does EDGAR Full-Text Search do?
Searches the body text of every SEC filing — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, proxies, S-1s — for any phrase or keyword. Returns filing type, filer (CIK + name), date, and direct link into the filing where the phrase appears. SEC Filings Watch surfaces filings by company; this surfaces them by phrase.
What's a good query strategy?
Quoted phrases for exact matches (e.g., "material weakness" or "cybersecurity incident"). Form-type filters narrow noise (10-K only for risk factors, 8-K for breach disclosures). Date filters surface recent activity. Combine with company-name filters when you want both.
When is this useful?
Risk-factor mining (which companies disclose what risks), competitor surveillance (who's saying what about a market or technology), thematic research (every company that mentioned 'AI agents' in 2025 10-Ks), and FOIA-style discovery.
