Creating specific and efficient searches can be easy if you know how to enter your queries correctly into the LinkSViewer search fields. Here are some examples of how to enter search terms into text fields and numerical fields along with the results that these terms would generate.

Although most of the search fields are numerical, you can also search by Company Name or Keyword, or Investor Name. All results containing the queried word(s) will be returned, so if you search for 'red' in the Company Name field, the results will include 'RedEnvelope,' 'Red Herring,' and 'Simply Hired' among other companies. In this way, you can search for a company even if you can only remember a partial name.

» Separate queries by commas to search for multiple entries at the same time

» Enter a partial name if you are unsure of company/investor name or spelling

For example:

All other search fields are numerical and require numbers. This can represent a number of investors or companies, a dollar amount (in millions), or a year. Hyphens can be used in these fields to specify bounded or boundless ranges, and commas can be used in the same way as in the previous text field examples.

» Hyphens indicate a range, and leaving an open-ended dash indicates a boundless range

» Commas are used to separate multiple simultaneous queries within a field
