Common questions

Where do my own search results come from?: Every completed search lists its own export files in the workspace. Those are generated for you and are removed from the server about 30 minutes after the search finishes, so download them straight away. The files on this page are static and never expire.
Do I need an account to download these?: No. These are public documents. An account is only needed to run a search, because searches are metered against your plan.

Ready to try it? The first search takes about a minute.
