What this search covers
This searches the bounded public indexes listed beside each group—not private research, full documents, every historical financial cycle or every polling question. Predictions search published claim summaries and bylines, not complete transcripts. Current delivery does not mean current reporting: check each record’s own dates.
Data loads only after a search or an explicit category change. Legislation starts with its first current-summary partition; lobbying starts with the current filing index. Choose Search more retained records in either group to search up to three additional metadata partitions per click. Up to two reads run together. You can stop after the current read; changing your query or category also stops further archive reads. Completed reads remain cached in this page. Failed indexes and partitions need an explicit Retry.
All available retained partitions does not mean every record at the original source. Source collection gaps, excluded organizations, conflicting identities and browser limits remain visible. The browser limit is 60,000 legislative metadata rows or 20,000 filing rows. No full documents, historical policy versions, transcripts or provider collections are loaded. Source restrictions and public visibility rules still apply.
