SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search — Keyword & Date Filter

Search the full text of SEC EDGAR filings by keyword, ticker, or company name — then narrow by form type (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, DEF 14A) and date range. Each match returns the company name, CIK, form type, and filing date so you can surface every filing that mentions a term, product, executive, or risk factor across public companies. Built on EDGAR's official full-text index (filings back to 2001), no SEC API key required.

This actor searches across companies by keyword. To pull one known company's filings by ticker, use SEC EDGAR Filings by Ticker; for filing body text as Markdown, use SEC Filings to Markdown for RAG.

Use cases

• Find every filing mentioning a keyword — a competitor, product, executive, or litigation term.
• Screen S-1s in a date window to track companies preparing to go public.
• Locate which companies disclosed a specific risk across an industry.
• Build a keyword-triggered filing alert by scheduling the actor.
• Seed a research list of CIKs from a single topic search.
