Search SEC EDGAR registrants (US-listed companies) by ticker, company name, or CIK. Returns the 10-digit zero-padded CIK needed by the other edgar_* tools. Not this tool for: Korean companies (use search_dart_company). Japan, Taiwan and Europe have no search tool — reach them through screen_companies or query_db on the companies table. Args: - query (required): ticker ('AAPL', 'BRK-B' or 'BRK.B'), company-name fragment ('Berkshire'), or CIK number ('320193') - limit: max results, 1-50 (default 10) Returns: {count, companies: [{cik, ticker, title}]} ranked exact-ticker > exact-name > prefix > substring. Examples: - "find Apple's CIK" -> {query: 'AAPL'} - "companies named Berkshire" -> {query: 'Berkshire', limit: 5} Use when: you need a CIK or to disambiguate a company name before calling get_edgar_financials/filings/insider_trades (those also accept tickers directly, so for an exact ticker you can skip this step). Don't use for: Korean companies (use search_dart_company) or private companies not registered with the SEC. Errors: no match -> error suggesting a shorter name fragment; only SEC registrants with a listed ticker are searchable.
