# Global search

> Search for a company globally without knowing the jurisdiction.

Kyckr provides access to a stored database of companies called Global Search, allowing searches to locate an entity without knowing the jurisdiction. Searches can only be performed using a company name.

The response provides the company's jurisdiction information in both the `id` field (prefix) and the `type` field, identifying the registry where the company exists.

Note: Global Search relies on stored data which may not be current. After identifying the correct jurisdiction, use Kyckr's Search by Name or Search by Number API with the specific jurisdiction to confirm that the entity remains active on the register.

Below is an example of the results from searching 'Kyckr' using the V2 API:
