SEC EDGAR full-text search API

Search the full text of SEC EDGAR filings via the public EFTS endpoint (keyless) and return a flat, clean result: filer name + 10-digit CIK, form type, filing date, accession number, location, and a ready-to-open filing URL — instead of EFTS's nested Elasticsearch blob. Answers 'find 10-K filings mentioning climate risk', 'which companies disclosed X', 'search SEC filings for this phrase', 'recent 8-K filings about Y'.
