2. Click the **Available Types** dropdown — this will show **3 types** under the Company category
3. Select **`Company Search (discovery_company)`**

The right panel expands to show **Type Details**:

| Field               | Value                                                                           |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Category**        | Company                                                                         |
| **Title**           | Company Search                                                                  |
| **Type Value**      | `discovery_company`                                                             |
| **Description**     | Search for companies and organizations across global registries and leaked data |
| **Query Parameter** | Company Name                                                                    |

💡 **Note:** The Company category offers 3 investigation types — Company Search, IBAN Number lookup, and Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). The platform displays `10 Categories` and `3 Types` for this category.

The input bar at the bottom activates with the tag:

```
Investigate discovery_company target: [Enter company name...]
```

## Step 2: Enter the Target Company Name

With `discovery_company` mode active, type the target company name into the input field.

**Input guidelines:**

| Format               | Example                        | Recommended         |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------- |
| Full legal name      | `Veridian Solutions Pte Ltd`   | ✅ Best              |
| Short trading name   | `Veridian Solutions`           | ✅ Works             |
| With suffix variants | `Veridian Solutions Pte. Ltd.` | ✅ Works             |
| Abbreviated only     | `VS Pte Ltd`                   | ⚠️ May miss results |

💡 **Tip:** Use the **full registered legal name** for Singapore-based entities. ACRA-registered names return the most complete records including registration numbers, incorporation dates, and previous names.

## Step 3: Initiate the Search

Press **Enter** or click the **Send** button (`➤`) to submit the query.

The platform displays your query as a chat message and immediately returns a **Discovery Search Started** confirmation card:

<figure><img src="https://4028294539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUsnVTh7rcq8AcGEIF2Yf%2Fuploads%2FzMuqYNp7tiOGIR1FCWCl%2F03_search_started.png?alt=media&#x26;token=b325cc53-382b-4a32-9f7f-3571b4034299" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The confirmation card shows:

| Field         | Example Value                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Query**     | `Veridian Solutions Pte Ltd`     |
| **Type**      | `Company`                        |
| **Search ID** | `694eac52` *(unique per search)* |

⏳ The system simultaneously searches the Discovery database and open web. This typically takes **10–30 seconds**.

Click **"Check Results"** when prompted to retrieve the latest findings.

## Step 4: Deeper Search — Automatic Fallback

If the initial search returns limited results, OSINT360 automatically escalates to a **deeper search** pass:

<figure><img src="https://4028294539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUsnVTh7rcq8AcGEIF2Yf%2Fuploads%2FAYxWlGPMRXj0QiqWVvLW%2F04_deeper_search.png?alt=media&#x26;token=445b0113-2de4-4492-80f9-46a35cba3696" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The deeper search card shows:

```
≡  Trying deeper search...

-  Query:      Veridian Solutions Pte Ltd
-  Search ID:  7b53c4fb

⏳  Searching...  Check again in a few seconds.

[ 📊  Check Results ]
```

ℹ️ The deeper search uses an expanded set of data sources and alternative name variations. A new **Search ID** (`7b53c4fb`) is assigned for this pass. Click **"Check Results"** again after a few seconds to retrieve the combined findings from both passes.

## Step 5: Review Detailed Results

Once the search completes, OSINT360 returns a structured breakdown of all matched company records:

<figure><img src="https://4028294539-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUsnVTh7rcq8AcGEIF2Yf%2Fuploads%2FeikGN6bv2TEQcQYNEoTb%2F05_results_list.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a53eda2f-9677-47ad-98fe-8b01617e6d18" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Understanding Result Scores

Each matched record carries a **confidence score** indicating how closely it matches the search query:

| Score Label     | Range     | Meaning                                                                   |
| --------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 🟢 **Good**     | 80–100%   | High confidence — name, registration data, and identifiers strongly match |
| 🟡 **Moderate** | 60–79%    | Partial match — company name matches with fewer corroborating details     |
| 🔴 **Low**      | Below 60% | Weak match — found in a dataset but lacks direct registry confirmation    |

Understanding Result Types

Company search results may appear in two distinct formats:

| Icon | Type                   | Description                                                                                |
| ---- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 💼   | **Company Record**     | Matched from a corporate registry (e.g., ACRA). Includes full registration details.        |
| 🔍   | **File / Dataset Hit** | The company name appeared in a leaked or public dataset file. Click to expand for details. |

**Tips & Best Practices**

🏢 Company Name Formatting

* Use the **full registered legal name** including the entity suffix (`Pte Ltd`, `Ltd`, `Inc`, `GmbH`, etc.)
* For Singapore companies: ACRA uses all-caps for registered names — the search is case-insensitive
* Omit punctuation variants — both `Pte Ltd` and `Pte. Ltd.` will return the same results

**🔗 Cross-Reference Strategy**

* Use **Registration No.** from results to verify identity across multiple sources
* Cross-check **Previous Name** fields to track corporate rebranding or restructuring
* Use **Web Sources** links to retrieve director lists, shareholder registers, and funding data
* Combine Company Search with **IBAN Number** or **LEI** lookups for financial entity profiling

**📊 Interpreting File Hits**

* CSV file results (Low confidence) may contain employee or contact data mentioning the company
* Open leaked file results with caution and only within authorized investigation contexts
* Use file source names (e.g., `ACRA Corporate Entities ('V').csv`) to gauge dataset relevance

🔒 **Privacy & Compliance**

* Only investigate companies you are legally authorized to research
* All searches are logged with your account for audit purposes
* OSINT360 aggregates only **publicly available and officially registered** corporate data
* Respect applicable regulations (PDPA, GDPR, local corporate privacy laws)

💾 **Export & Record-Keeping**

* Click **"Export PDF"** in the top-right corner to download a full report
* Use the **Search ID** (`694eac52`) to reference a specific search in follow-up queries
* Chat history auto-saves — revisit any previous investigation from the left sidebar
