CompanySearch returns a too long a list

[lawrencebywater]

Ideally need an argument whereby only the first result is returned, I am finding for almost all company names the list returned is so long that the function eventually falls over and returns the following error: " Error: parse error: premature EOF

                 (right here) ------^ "

I have added two new functions:

CompanySearch_limit This return the first page of results – so the first 20 results

CompanySearch_limit_first This return the first search result only

Therefore – these can be used when you have a specific search term, but for more general search terms – like “bitcoin” the CompanySearch function can be used.

Kind regards,

Matthew

Thanks, that’s awesome. On a sort of related note, i am having issues when searching for companies that have an ‘&’ in the name.

E.g. ‘D & G investments limited’ will return a company just called ‘D’.

Many thanks Lawrence

Thanks for pointing that out. I have corrected that - it should now work.

Kind regards,
