There were a number of suggestions for free and low cost EDGAR sources. I
have compiled them below.
Many thanks to Martina Anders, Margi Heinen, Janice Henderson, Bob Hughes,
Gary Price, Rochelle Cheifetz, Staci Steadman, and Bill Jack.

EDGARScan

SECInfo
http://www.secinfo.com/
-------
We have been very happy with gsionline (liveedgar). The price is
reasonable--my rep. was willing to talk about a fixed rate if I wanted--and
the flexibility in searching is very good.
-------
Although it's not a full-text search I'm a big fan of the many services,
free
(at this point) available via Secinfo.Com http://www.secinfo.com
These include a free alert tool,
live feeds of both SEC and SEDAR filings, ability to export into many
formats.
-------
Try Edgarscan from Pricewaterhousecoopers:
http://edgarscan.pwcglobal.com/servlets/edgarscan.

We use LivEdgar and are quite satisfied. We were able to negotiate a
very good rate with them and they were very competitive.

EDGAR Scan is my favorite because you can open a document into word and
provide your attorney with a nice printout.
http://edgarscan.pwcglobal.com/servlets/edgarscan
SEC.gov has gotten better. You can open the document separately from the
exhibits which is nice but there is still no guarantee that the print will
look nice.
Sec Info is another good one. http://www.secinfo.com. The nice feature is
the ability to browse recent filings by type.
-------
10K Wizard EDGAR Searcher
