# Finance Search
The public sample of the OpenBenchmarks finance search benchmark, which measures how well a search API helps an agent answer a finance professional's questions. The agent, prompt, search budget and grader are held fixed; only the search API changes. This sample is published so the question format and a harness can be checked end to end. Results on it are not leaderboard scores.
## Configurations
| Configuration | Rows | Task |
|---|---:|---|
| `historical-lookup` | 10 | One published figure for a named entity and period; one well-aimed search should find it. |
| `multi-hop-lookup` | 5 | Several published facts combined: a peer comparison, a trend, a result against guidance. |
| `live-lookup` | 10 | A price at a given moment, asked shortly after it: 3 stocks, 3 coins, 4 currency pairs. |
Each configuration has one split named `public`.
## Fields
`historical-lookup` and `multi-hop-lookup`:
- `id`: question id.
- `question`: the question as asked, with named entities and absolute dates.
- `answer`: the reference answer. Where it ends with "Wrong:", the listed values are the expected wrong answers.
- `tolerance`: how close a numeric answer must be.
- `area`: one of company results, banks and insurers, macro and policy, small and international, markets.
`live-lookup`:
- `id`, `asset` (`equity`, `crypto`, `fx`), `name`, `ticker`.
- `query_template`: the query a search API receives once a date and a time in UTC are filled in, for example
`<name> (<ticker>) stock price {{date}} {{time}}`, `price` for crypto and `exchange rate` for currency pairs.
## Live lookup
Live lookup measures freshness: how soon a new price reaches a search API's results. In the benchmark each item is
asked shortly after a moment that has just passed and graded against market data pulled afterwards, so a live answer
only exists once that moment has passed. These rows carry the items and the query format, without answers.
## Grading
An answer is correct only if every part the question asks for is right within its tolerance. A hedged answer counts
only if its committed value is right.
