Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place. The mutual fund search page contains a footnote: "For closed-end funds and for filings prior to February 6, 2006, search Company Filings".
Most funds are organized as series of a trust (i.e. a company). Fund docs from 2006 on can be retrieved by using an individual fund's series number (S######). But fund docs prior to that can be retrieved only by using the trust's CIK (central index key) or name. The mutual fund search (link above) can be used to find both a fund's series number and its CIK.
Now CSRs prior to 2003 are a whole 'nuther kettle of fish. They don't exist for any fund. CSRs were instituted in 2003 in response to Sarbanes-Oxley. https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/certinvco.htm
