Need a more specific company search

Bulk Data Requests

I’m creating an application in C# using this api.

The requirement is to search for a company using the name and retrieving the company number, postcode etc.

I’m having issues due to the search being so vague. An example is :

Searching for the company (using search companies by term) ‘Yissum Technology Transfer’ brings back 27353 results, of which i can only access the first 400 due to the caps. (the company is not in the first 400)

Is there a way to be more specific with the search? i.e only searching company names or direct matches as opposed to fuzzy searching?

That company name does not exist, that is why you cannot find it.
Our search is geared to finding company names that exist, It is an exact match engine first, but if that company does not exist, search does its’ best to find you something close.
You can narrow your search to companies only and you can search for specific company numbers (use the full 8 chars numbers)

Cool, thanks for your help.
