I'd definitely recommend looking at Morningstar - you can get various 
docs from the Web/ftp site (either www.morningstar.com or the site 
referred to from there because the company was bought out late last year
I believe).
The filtering facilties are good and they've implemented many other 
options like CHAP authentication etc.

Costs about USD750 IIRC. You can get a one month free trial. Go for it!
