Post-search introduction of a research and development filter in transfer pricing comparability analysis is improper if it was not part of the initial search criteria; the filter must govern the search from the outset.

On that basis, the note records exclusion of six high-turnover comparables and application of an upper turnover filter at 10 times the assessee's turnover for recomputation of arm's length price.
