You can drive more precise results by tailoring your search with multiple related companies.

See a single company search compared to a multiple company search.

A search of Walmart, a diversified retailer of household goods, including groceries, will output many well known retailers selling an array of products.

Note from above: Wayfair, Best Buy, Office Depot, Zulily, and others drop down in match score or are eliminated from the search results totally.
