The Discover section of the news research section and VAL lets you find, filter, and summarize global business insights in seconds.
🔍 Discover-Finding What Matters
The Discover page is where you search and explore business insights. You have two search modes to choose from:
Keyword search lets you combine specific terms using AND, OR, and NOT. Great when you know exactly what you're looking for.
AI search lets you type a plain English question. It interprets meaning, not just words-perfect for trend spotting or exploring a new topic.
All results come back as English AI summaries, even when the original sources are in other languages.
💡 Tip: Put exact phrases in quotes (e.g. "supply chain"). Combine a broad AI search with category filters to get sharp results fast.
🎯 Narrowing Down Your Results
Once you have results, the left-hand panel helps you zoom in. You can filter by:
Relevance Score
The Relevance Score tells you how well a search result matches your query. It works differently depending on which search mode you use:
AI search-the score is a number between 0 and 1. The closer to 1, the stronger the match. For example, a score of 0.998 means the result is highly relevant to your question. Keyword search-the score is based on how many keywords in the result match your query. The more matches, the higher the number. For example, a score of 27 indicates strong relevance.
You can set a minimum threshold to keep only the most relevant results. This filter applies everywhere-to your search results, saved searches, feeds, and visualizations.
💡 Tip: You can adjust the threshold by dragging the filter slider or typing a number manually.
But also define:
Industry, theme, or market region
Specific companies or people mentioned
Sentiment (positive, neutral, negative)
Source language or media type
For more complex needs, open Advanced filters to combine OR and NOT conditions, or attach reusable Filter sets you've pre-built in the Monitor page.
📈 Visualize Your Results
Hit the Visualize button to instantly turn your search results into charts. This gives you a bird's-eye view of what's going on- spot patterns, compare regions, or track how a topic evolves over time.
Charts are built from the categories in your results, including market region, organizations mentioned, industries, themes, and sentiment. You can click on any chart element-say, a country or a company name - to see the actual summaries behind it. From there, apply the filter to keep working with that subset or close the modal and try a different angle.
💡 Tip: Combine Visualize with category filters first-charting a focused dataset tells a much clearer story than charting everything at once.
Ask VAL (the AI assistant in the bottom-right corner) to summarize results or answer a follow-up question
💬 Getting the Most Out of VAL
VAL is your AI research assistant, available from any page. Click it open in the bottom-right corner and type a question. You can also ask VAL to create an Executive Summary from your search results.
A few things to keep in mind:
Ask full, specific questions. "What is Earnix's position in insurance software?" works much better than "What about Earnix?"
