How to Perform a Basic Company Name Search

The simplest kind of search in 1Jump is by Company Name. Here's how to do it.

  1. Accept the default Search Type: "Company Name"

  2. Under Keywords, enter a company name. For this example, let's use "Microsoft"

    Tips on searching by company name:

    • Precision counts: Try different variations of a company name. ("Microsoft", "Microsoft Corp", "Microsoft Corporation" all yield different results).
    • Spelling counts: Double-check your spelling if there are no results
    • Don't use punctuation: Leave out periods, commas, and other punctuation from your search terms
    • Don't enter "Inc.", "Corp.", or "Ltd": You'll get better results if you leave out these terms, and others like them

  3. Click ONCE on the "Jump" button

  4. Two things will now happen:

    1. The area labeled "Click for Content" will fill up with topics. Each topic is a type of information that 1Jump provides on this company.

    2. The company's main web site will open in the Web browser component of the program

  5. Clicking once on any topic in the "Click for Content" area brings up information on that topic.

    For example, clicking once on "Peers" ...

    ... will generate a clickable, interactive list of companies in the same industry as Microsoft (in this case).
