Natural Language Search in Advanced Search
Search like a human. Results like a pro.
We’re excited to introduce Natural Language Search in Advanced Search (AVS), making it easier and faster to find the companies that matter to you.
Now, instead of manually building complex filters, you can simply type what you're looking for in your own words. AVS will interpret your query and return a structured set of results.
This update is designed to make discovery faster, easier, and more intuitive - whether you’re a power user or just getting started.
- Faster discovery: Speed up early searches, going from idea to an initial set of results immediately.
- Reduce friction: No need to learn the filter structure before starting, just express your search in your own words.
💡 How does it work?
With Natural Language Search, you can now describe your ideal company in plain English. AVS will do the work of translating your request into relevant search criteria.
For example, you can try:
- “East Midlands companies in the life sciences industry”
- “Software companies with over 50 employees and 10% turnover growth”
- “Financial services companies that have raised funding in the past year”
We’ll return companies that match your criteria, which you can refine further using the AVS builder.
