Using FT Indexing

The Financial Times contains indexing for North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, which identify lines of business. However, if you don't know the code for an industry, EXPAND using PN= for the product or industry name. For example, if you are looking for information about the software publishing industry:

?e pn=software publisher

Ref   Items  Index-term
E1        8  PN=SOFT DRINK & ICE MFG (NC=31211)
E2      546  PN=SOFT DRINK MFG (NC=312111)
E3        0 *PN=SOFTWARE PUBLISHER
E4     4697  PN=SOFTWARE PUBLISHERS (NC=51121)
E5       82  PN=SOFTWARE REPRODUCING (NC=334611)
E6       42  PN=SOFTWOOD VENEER AND PLYWOOD (SC=2436)
E7        5  PN=SOIL PREPARATION PLANTING & CULTIVATING
E8        6  PN=SOIL PREPARATION SERVICES (SC=0711)
E9        5  PN=SOLID WASTE COLLECTION (NC=562111)
E10       2  PN=SOLID WASTE COMBUSTORS & INCINERATORS (
E11       3  PN=SOLID WASTE LANDFILL (NC=562212)
E12     240  PN=SOUND RECORDING INDUSTRIES (NC=5122)

The codes will display as part of the EXPAND list. All of the FT's content is also fully indexed by country, region, company, and subject.
