Describe the company. Get companies, not links.
Write what you're looking for in a sentence. Misano Search reads company websites — not a database of industry codes — and hands back a ranked list of companies, each one identified. Not a page of links you still have to work through.
One sentence in. Eight verified companies out.
This is the whole product. No filter builder, no industry taxonomy to learn, no boolean syntax — a description of the business you want to own, and a list you can act on.
Ranked by how well each company matches the description — not by how big it is, and not by what it filed as its main activity.
It reads the websites. That's why it takes minutes.
A database query returns instantly because it is looking things up. Misano Search goes and reads, which is slower and finds companies a lookup cannot.

Typically 5–8 minutes per search, at roughly $0.50 of compute. Companies whose identity cannot be pinned down at all are dropped rather than guessed at.
A code says how a company registered.
It does not say what the company sells today. Half the interesting businesses in a niche are filed under something generic, a holding structure, or whatever the founder ticked in 2009.
A database gives you the ones already labelled
Filter by code and you get the companies somebody has classified. The ones nobody has classified — usually the small, founder-owned ones you actually want — are not in the answer, because they were never in the question.
Misano Search asks what they do
It reads the company's own website and judges the business from how it describes itself, then goes and checks that the company legally exists. Classification is not the filter; it is a thing you learn afterwards.
Misano does use NACE codes — for valuation, where a sector benchmark is exactly the right tool. Finding companies is a different job, and a code is the wrong instrument for it.
Point it at one country. Or at the whole web.
Every result carries a company identifier read off the company's own filings or site — a row Misano cannot identify at all is dropped rather than guessed at. Narrowing to a single market sharpens the search; it is not what makes the result trustworthy.
Where you can search
Where a national registry is wired in — Czechia today, through ARES — the identifier is checked against it before the row is kept, and the row says so. Everywhere else it is taken from the company itself and labelled unverified rather than quietly promoted.
Tick the ones worth a look. Scout takes it from there.
Selected companies land in Scout, where the filings are pulled and parsed, the five-dimension score runs against your fund strategy, and the investment thesis writes itself.
