Searching for a specific contract shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt. Our global search is designed to be powerful and straightforward.
Search for an exact word or phrase
By default, the search bar looks for the words you enter in any order. If you need to find a specific phrase, place quotation marks around the words in the search bar. Quotation marks tell ContractSafe to look for the words together in the same sequence, so the system only pulls up documents that contain that exact sequence of words.

Narrow results with Advanced Search
Use Advanced Search when you need more control over where or how ContractSafe searches. Depending on the search criteria available to your account, you can narrow results by specific fields, combinations of words, dates, or other contract information.
