Search Tip 2-5

To see whether companies are looking to expand into specific geographic areas, it is often a good idea to restrict searches to geographic locations.

Some sample prefixes and suffixes used are: GN= or /gn for geographic name or cn= or /cn for country name.

Check the bluesheet for specific prefixes and/or suffixes used to limit geographically.

Example:

select france/gn
