Useful Tips for Your Search

 

  1. If you do not specify Stock Code/Stock Name and Headline Category/Document Type, the search period shall not be more than one month.  If you specify Headline Category/Document Type but not the Stock Code/Stock Name, the search period shall not be more than three months.  However, if Stock Code/Stock Name is specified, you can retrieve documents with a longer time frame.
  2. If you do not know a listed companyˇs full name or stock code, try inputting parts of the company name in the ¨Stock Name〃 field (i.e. ¨Shanghai〃) and click the search button.  The search will return a list of companies which has the selected word.  Or, you may click on ¨List of Stock Codes〃 or ¨List of Stock Names〃 next to the input boxes. You can then click on the company name you desire.
  3.  To facilitate your search of the Headline Category, there is a built-in three-level search.  The highest level has 10 tier-1 headline categories.  You can then narrow down your search by selecting a group heading of second-tier Headline Category in the next level.  If you do not know the structure of the headline categories, you can click the Help button for a list of categories at the lowest level in alphabetical order.
  4. For Disclosure of Interests Notifications simply perform a default search by clicking on the Search button, without inputting any fields. On top right-hand corner of the returned search result page, you can then click on ¨Disclosure of Interests〃 and you will be taken to the Disclosure of Interests Search section where you can input your selection.
