Detailed
Search Function
The detailed search function allows you to control and filter by exact criteria, turning FinancialQUEST into one of the most powerful data search applications available and enabling you to combine data from separate NEEDS databases, for instance, corporate fundamentals analysis with quantitative equity analysis.
Improved
Efficiency
Search conditions can now be saved and loaded, enabling you to repeat the same search task without re-selecting the search conditions. You also have the ability to choose the layout of the data output, which enables you to align the data to your existing spreadsheets, saving you valuable time.
Text

The text search function enables you to find the companies and data attributes that you are looking for at ease. Searching for a whole list of companies is made easier too; you can highlight multiple companies or entire industrial sectors by conditioning search and data screening.
