| How is using the Alacra Compliance Web different than using an Internet search engine? |
| As a vertical search engine, the Alacra Compliance Web is focused on specific websites that are most likely to provide the information financial institutions need in order to meet their regulatory requirements. This helps users avoid information overload when looking for specific information. |
| |
| How are sites selected for inclusion? |
| Alacra editors hand-select the websites and specific sections of those sites to be included in the Alacra Compliance Web. This process helps provide the most relevant results for any search. |
| |
| What are the categories listed above the search box used for? |
| The Alacra Compliance Web is organized into a taxonomy of five primary types of websites. You may search across the entire Compliance Web or select a specific category of websites, for example Stock Exchanges, to search. |
| |
| Why are some terms highlighted? |
| Your search terms are shown in bold. In addition, we highlight certain adverse terms with yellow highlights. These adverse terms, such as fined, convicted, investigate, and subpoena, help you identify results that may indicate adverse information about the entity you have searched. While the presence of these terms do not connote wrongdoing, they help users identify which search results may be most pertinent to read. |
| |
| How many pages of information are included in the Compliance Web? |
| The Alacra Compliance Web indexes more than three million pages of content. |
| |
| What does "Powered By Google" mean? |
| Alacra uses Google Search Appliances to create the Alacra Compliance Web. The use of Google Search Appliances combines the power of Google search technology, including the ability to find the highest quality and most relevant documents, with Alacra's domain expertise in selecting those web sites and pages which are relevant for AML compliance. |
