The SEC added a full-text search tool to its EDGAR database, making it easier to research company registration statements, annual and quarterly reports and other information filed by public companies and mutual funds within the past four years, according to a news release.
"When investors and analysts are looking for information about a company or fund, they'll no longer be required to laboriously wade through each individual filing separately to get what they want. Instead, they can now access millions of pages in dozens or even hundreds of company filings all at once," SEC Chairman Christopher Cox said in the news release.
