This release comes packed with a number of new features and improvements across the platform, including updates to our core document search technology.
You can view all previous release notes here.
Symbol Search
You can now search for symbols such as percentage signs (%) and currency symbols ($ £ €). We will be adding support for additional symbols over time.
Symbol searches can be helpful when searching for dollar values associated with share repurchase programs or to find instances where management talks about sales or margin percentages. Read more here.
Construct a search using the new Query Builder
We’ve added a query builder to make the process of building complex queries more manageable. The query builder allows you to build queries block by block. Read more here.
Nested Searches
If your initial search returns too many results, you can search within that particular set of search results. If your initial search is “china slowdown”, you can search within that search for “layoffs”. Read more here.
Expanded Labels
Previously, you were limited to 7 labels. We’ve done away with that limitation entirely and have also added the ability to create company specific set of labels. Read more here.
Federal Reserve Documents
FOMC meetings minutes, statements, press conference projection materials, and speeches can be found under the ticker FED-RES. Read more here.
Default Plotter templates
We are now providing users with a default set of ten templates to be used on Plotter. Templates are useful to replicate the same graph across multiple tickers.
To load a template, go into the template menu of the Plotter, then into Default Templates.
All fields then are created automatically, all that is left is to enter the tickers required and press “Add Series”. You can create your templates too by pressing “Save As Template” in the “Save” menu.
