Default search lookback widened to 50 days

Shipped July 14, 2026.

Default detected_after window is now 50 days

POST /v1/companies/search and POST /v1/contacts/search now default detected_after to 50 days ago (previously 30) when the parameter is omitted.

Several signal types refresh on a monthly cadence. With a 30-day default, the most recent monthly batch could age out of the default window in the days just before its next refresh, making those signal types look empty unless you widened the window yourself. The 50-day default guarantees the latest batch of every signal type is always included.

What this means for you

• If you omit detected_after, searches now cover the last 50 days instead of 30. Results are still sorted newest-first, so top results are unchanged.
• If you pass detected_after explicitly, nothing changes.
• The 14-day window cap for entity-filtered searches (industries, employee_count_min/max, seniority, department, job_title) is unchanged.
• For free-text keywords searches we still recommend a window of ~30 days or less for fastest response times.
