SEC Full-Text Search Screensaver
The SEC Full-Text Search screensaver shows filings whose actual text mentions a given phrase, from EDGAR's full-text index. Distinct from the site's SEC Filings saver, which lists filings by type — this searches inside the documents. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
