Search Made Simple: Use Natural Language to Find the Right Companies
Identifying the right companies used to mean knowing exactly which filters to apply — and how to combine them. Now, there’s a simpler way.
We’re pleased to introduce a major enhancement to Advanced Search in Beauhurst: Natural Language Search is now live.
This new functionality lets you describe the companies you’re looking for in your own words. That means no drop-down menus, no complex filter combinations. Just type what you’re looking for, and we’ll return matching companies.
How it works
- “Life sciences companies in the East Midlands”
- “Software companies with more than 50 employees and 10% turnover growth”
- “Financial services firms that raised funding in the last year”
Type your query into Advanced Search. Our platform will interpret your request, translate it into structured filters behind the scenes, and present you with a tailored search and results, ready to refine or export.
Why it matters
Whether you’re sourcing deals, identifying new clients, or mapping a market, Natural Language Search makes it faster to get from idea to action.
Faster workflows
Start searching without needing to master every filter. Just type your criteria and see relevant results immediately.
More time on high-value tasks
Spend less time setting up searches and more time reviewing, prioritising, and contacting your targets.
