Locating Basic U.S. Company Information: Summary

In Lesson 1 we used the "BEST" technique to conduct a search for a specific company—BEGIN, EXPAND, SELECT, TYPE.

Example: begin 516
expand co=intel
select E number(s)
type s1/medium/1
We also viewed an alternate technique for company name searching using the suffix /co appended to the company name.
Example: begin 101
select global(w)crossing/co
type s1/medium/1

These two techniques will be used throughout this course when we are looking for company names.
