# New Data Scopes: People, Companies, and Wikipedia

> Search and Answer can now scope results to dedicated people, company, and Wikipedia indexes, not just news.

*Released: August 13, 2026*

The [`scope`](/data/data-concepts#scopes) parameter on [`/search`](/search/basic-search), [`/answer`](/answer/basic-answer), and `/v1/chat/completions` now accepts three new values alongside the default `news` scope: **[`people`](/data/people)**, **[`companies`](/data/companies)**, and **[`wikipedia`](/data/wikipedia)**. Each scope searches a different, dedicated subset of the Seltz owned index, and returns results structured for that scope.

## Highlights

* **`people`** — Over 800 million public professional profiles aggregated from LinkedIn, public company pages, and other social sources. Each result is a profile with fields like experience, education, skills, and certifications.
* **`companies`** — Over 35 million company profiles. Each result includes fields like workforce size, financials, key executives, and recent news.
* **`wikipedia`** — English-language Wikipedia articles.
* **Same default as before** — Omitting `scope`, or passing an empty/whitespace-only value, still resolves to `news`.
* **Available everywhere** — `/search`, `/answer`, and `/v1/chat/completions` all accept the parameter.

## Quick Start

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from seltz import Seltz

  client = Seltz()

  response = client.search("acme corp", scope="companies")
  for document in response.documents:
      print(document.url)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { Seltz } from "seltz";

  const client = new Seltz();

  const result = await client.search({ query: "acme corp", scope: "companies" });
  for (const doc of result.documents) {
    console.log(doc.url);
  }
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
