About eDOCS

EDOCS lets you search a database of Daily Digest entries for FCC documents posted to the FCC web site since March 1996. The query searches on words and numbers that appeared in the Daily Digest title and in the description for each document, not on the full text of each document. EDOCS has two search modules: quick and advanced.

Quick Search

The quick search lets you search by DA or FCC number, the release date, and the title or description. The results of your query are displayed in reverse chronological order.

Advanced Search

The advanced search lets you search by a much larger number of criteria including citations, title, description, docket numbers, dates, date range, as well as other numeric fields. The EDOCS advanced query works with any data element or combination of data elements. Using more search terms will give a more precise result and fewer retrievals. The results of your query are displayed in reverse chronological order. Filter By options gives the ability to further narrow down the search results.
