Step-by-step: How Search works in svEye

Step 1: Start with one search

• Everything in svEye begins with a single search field.
• You can type directly if you know what you’re looking for.
• Or explore available entity types first.

Step 2: Explore entity types

• svEye works with millions of entities.
• To keep things clear, we surface the most relevant and largest ones first.
• Anything in the database can still be found via the search bar.

Step 3: Browse commodities

• Commodities are a key part of supply chain analysis.
• The list is continuously expanded based on demand.
• You can browse them or search directly.

Step 4: Select what you want to search

• Choose individual commodities or entities.
• Or select all to keep your search broad.

Step 5: Enter your entity

• Type what you’re looking for — for example, a company name.
• Autocomplete helps you narrow it down.

Step 6: Confirm the entity

• Select the exact company or entity from the list.
• This ensures accurate results.

Step 7: Run the search

• Launch the search to see results.
• Default time range is the past month.
• You can adjust the time range anytime.

What happens after search

• svEye takes you to the Results page.
• From here, you can:
  • explore events and articles
  • switch to Value Chain view
  • refine or save your search

Best practices & tips

• Start broad, then narrow down later.
• Use entity selection to avoid noise.
• Adjust the time range to match your use case.
