Small Claims - searching a company?

Is there a way to find out if a company has been taken to Small Claims Court in the UK? 
We have just taken a car dealer to court and after a 7 month battle, successfully won our case.
After researching reviews online it seems that ours wasn't the time this has happened.  But there doesn't appear to be a search facility in the UK courts to look at Small Claims around the country.  
Can anyone help?

    If it's a limited company it will show on companies House.

    CCJs aren't shown on Companies House.

    OP, why are you asking? Just out of curiosity or because you think it will help you somehow?

    Yes, but I don't know of any way to do this without paying.
    There are various companies like this one:
    Home (trustonline.org.uk)  (£6 for a check of a company based in England or Wales and £10 if you wish to include Scotland).
    I've no idea how reliable they are as I've never had to use such a company.
