/search/companies?q= multi-word company name search

Hi team,

First off, great service, really enjoying getting to explore it further.

I’ve looked at other posts which explain the fuzzy indexed search methodology for finding results, but I was wondering if it’s now possible to pass in a multi-word company name, like “The Big Pencil Company Ltd.” - how would I pass that to q=?

Or, in this instance would I filter out words like the article “the”, common words like “Ltd.” and just match the results against my original search string? This is definitely an option, albeit a rather expensive one, since some searches are coming back with 47,000+ results, so I’m definitely open to alternatives.

Thanks,

Viv

hi there, we use string replace spaces with %20 as a fix

Simply URL encode your search string
