Using the in: Command

One of the best ways to save time with your search query is to leverage our in: command to filter your search by document type or location within a document.

After inputting the term in: into the query box, you’ll see a list of available options. To view a full list of in: command options, simply click on the question mark icon found inside of the query box:

The complete list of possible in: command uses can also be found in the table below:

Example Use Case

Suppose you are searching through documents for mentions of the term revenue. You can use in:tr command to restrict your search results to transcripts only or use the command in:10k to only search within 10K’s.

Multiple in: command can be combined in the same query to search within more than one specific document type. For example, the query below will return mentions of the term revenue inside of any table located in 10K’s and 10Q’s:

in:10k in:10q in:table revenue

Here’s an example of a query using the ticker $AAPL and search term iphone along with the following combined in: command.

in:10k
in:10q
in:table
