# What?
### What is Samples Hunt?
Samples Hunt is a powerful tool that gives you access to thousands of real-life legal documents, sourced from the EDGAR database maintained by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It uses the same advanced search technology as [Truffle Hunt](/truffle-hunt/what.md), allowing you to find specific clauses and contract language across a large dataset of publicly filed documents.
Unlike Truffle Hunt, you cannot upload your own files to Samples Hunt. Instead, you explore a curated collection of contracts and legal documents that were originally submitted by publicly traded companies as part of their legal obligations.
The documents in Samples Hunt mostly cover documents relating to commercial contracting, financial agreements, employment matters, real estate transactions, distribution arrangements, information technology and intellectual property. These are exactly the types of contracts most useful for clause inspiration.
The content is sourced directly from EDGAR and is regularly reviewed and updated. In the future, documents from newer years will be added, and older years may be phased out to keep search results relevant and manageable.
Since the documents in EDGAR are in the public domain, you are free to reuse individual clauses, though you will likely want to adapt and simplify them. Most documents are authored by companies themselves, typically written by in-house legal teams, executives, and financial officers.
Samples Hunt gives you a practical way to explore how other companies draft their contracts, right inside your familiar ClauseBuddy environment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/samples-hunt/what.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
