Reading Company results

After you run a Corporate Intelligence search (see Company search: overview), results populate the Search Results panel on the right. This page explains how to read and verify them. The Corporate Intelligence results screen uses the same results component as every other search type, so the general model in Found, Enriched & Connections and the Results table reference applies directly.

Populated Corporate Intelligence results for the Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK) Module — Found 100 / Enriched 100 counters, the results table with Bookmark, Incorporated, Country, Status, Company number and Name columns, and the Details panel for the selected GOOGLE LIMITED row

This page’s observed detail comes from one captured run: the Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK) Module (Cost per search: $0.10), searching google, which returned Found 100 / Enriched 100 (“Success, 100 results found”).

Caution

The capture covers a single Module — Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK). The results table adapts its columns to the Module that produced them, so another Corporate Module — Company Search (Data: OpenCorporates), Director Search, Officer Search, the sanctions Modules, LEI Search, Address Enquiry, Trademark Search, or SEC Full-Text Search — may present a different column set and different Details sub-sections. Treat the layout below as observed for the Companies House (UK) company search, not as the fixed shape for every Corporate search.

The three counters

Every populated results header carries the same trio of counters, in this order. They count three different things and must never be used interchangeably (colour coding: Found is green, Enriched is orange, Connections is white):

• Found — the identifier was located in a data source (a matching record exists there). For a company search, this reflects what the underlying register holds for the entity, person, or identifier you queried.
• Enriched — UserSearch holds further metadata on a found record. Enriched is a strict subset of Found — only found records can be enriched. Enrichment coverage is Module- and data-source-dependent.
• Connections — relationships and links surfaced between entities (linked clusters rather than raw hits). These are intended to populate the Graph tab.

In the captured Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK) run the header read Found 100 / Enriched 100 — every returned company was also enriched (Enriched equals Found). The Connections counter sat at the far edge of the captured frame and was not legible.

Caution

A populated Connections graph has never been captured for any search type. In every captured state the connections detail area reads “No connections found” — and the Connections counter can be non-zero while the connections section is still empty. Do not assume a rendered graph will appear for a Corporate Intelligence search.

The results table

The results panel has Search Results and Bookmarks tabs. Above the table, a status line (“Success, 100 results found”) sits over the action buttons; AI Analyse and AI Ask are visible in the captured header, with the Export and Clear controls off the frame’s right edge:

• AI Analyse / AI Ask run AI over the result set — see AI Analyse & AI Ask.
• Export downloads the current results — see Export & reports.
• Clear (styled red/coral) empties the current results set.

The results table adapts its columns to the Module that produced them. Unlike the site-style sweeps of Username or People searches, the captured Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK) run shows a company-specific column set — Bookmark · Incorporated · Country · Status · Company number · Name:

• Bookmark — a per-row checkbox that saves the result to the Bookmarks tab.
• Incorporated — the incorporation date (for example 2008-12-11).
• Country — the register’s jurisdiction, shown as a flag (every captured row carried a UK flag).
• Status — a registration-status badge; observed values are Active, Dissolved, and Open.
• Company number — the register’s company number (for example 06770815, with format variants such as BR017040, FC031970, and NI712604).
• Name — the registered company name (for example GOOGLE LIMITED, GOOGLE ADS LTD).

Each column header carries a sort control. This Module’s table has no Enriched, Connection, or Profile URL columns — those belong to the site-style layouts of the Username and People search types.

Caution

These columns are what the Company Search (Data: CompaniesHouse - UK) Module produced. The other Corporate Modules — Company Search (Data: OpenCorporates), Director Search, Officer Search, the sanctions Modules, LEI Search, Address Enquiry, Trademark Search, and SEC Full-Text Search — adapt the table to their own fields (registration records, people, sanctions matches, identifiers, or filings) and were not captured. Verify against the on-screen table.

The Details panel

Selecting a row drives the lower-left Details panel, which renders the structured detail of that company across Details and Graph tabs, with an Export control, an expand icon, and a three-dot overflow menu. For the selected GOOGLE LIMITED row the Details tab organised the record into labelled sub-sections:

• Company information — Name (GOOGLE LIMITED, carrying a Google “G” pivot icon) · Number (06770815) · Type (ltd) · Status (dissolved).
• Company lifecycle — Incorporated (2008-12-11) · Ceased (2011-08-02) · Description (“06770815 - Dissolved on 2 August 2011”).
• Registered address — Premises (37) · Line 1 (Nelmes Way) · Line 2 (N/A) · Locality (Hornchurch) · Region (Essex).
• Address details — Country (N/A) · Postal code (RM11 2QY) · PO Box (N/A) · Snippet (“37 Nelmes Way, Hornchurch, Essex, RM11 2QY”).
• Company profile — Jurisdiction · SIC codes · Charges · Insolvency · In dispute. In the capture this read “No data available” and offered a Load Company Profile button, so this deeper profile is fetched on demand rather than returned with the initial results.
• Accounts & statements — Accounts date · Accounts type · Confirmation · Secure PSCs, also showing “No data available” in the capture.

Where a Module surfaces connection tables, the Match Accuracy column is set by the third-party data source, not computed by UserSearch. For the general anatomy of the Details panel see Found, Enriched & Connections.

Pivoting from a result

Small icons sit beside certain returned values, implementing the investigative pivot loop (search → enrich → pivot). In the captured Details panel the company Name carried a “G” icon:

• Google “G” icon — a Google-dork pivot: clicking it opens Google with a preset dork for that value (per Lee, 2026-07-08).
• Magnifier icon — also a Google-dork pivot: like the “G”, it opens a Google dork query for the value (per Lee, 2026-07-10). It appears beside the “G” on values that support it (observed in the People capture beside a username).

See The pivot.

Verifying a result

• Cross-check the Found and Enriched counters against the rows shown — Enriched should never exceed Found.
• Treat Match Accuracy, where present, as the data source’s own confidence, not a UserSearch computation — this matters especially for Person Sanctions and Company Sanctions matches, where a name match is not a confirmed identity.
• Use the Google “G” or magnifier pivot — both open a Google dork for the value — to corroborate a hit against an independent search before you rely on it.
