The issue you're seeing with 40k+ companies is likely due to performance limitations with large datasets. Try these steps:
1.
Reduce your search size - Instead of searching all 40k companies at once, break it into smaller batches (maybe 5-10k at a time)
2.
Hard refresh your browser - Mac: Cmd+Shift+R, Windows: Ctrl+F5
3.
Check your company table structure - Make sure you have proper identifiers like LinkedIn URLs or domains for accurate results [1]
Since you're hitting our table limits with large searches, consider splitting your 40k companies across multiple tables to stay under the 50k row limit per table.
Before we dig deeper, have you tried using Sculptor (top-right corner) to help set up this search? It's free and might handle the large dataset better. Let me know if that helps or if you're still seeing issues!
