Outflows from supermassive black holes may play a significant role in the evolution of their host galaxy. Current studies of outflows had been limited to bright nearby AGN and are therefore biased. It is therefore necessary to test the results of these studies with an unbiased AGN sample. To this end, we have searched for outflows in an unbiased sample of 44 Seyfert 1s detected in the very hard X-rays with Swift. We have jointly analyzed Suzaku/XMM-Newton and Swift BAT spectra. We detect signatures of X-ray outflows through O VII and O VIII edges, finding an outflow fraction of 40%. The sources with outflows are on average less luminous and more obscured than the sources with no outflow detection.
