Tips

• Press Enter to search at any time, searching an empty string or * will return all recent posts
• Enclose any string with “” to search just that phrase, e.g. “Ukraine War”
• * and ? are wildcards. For example, elect* will return results that start with ‘elect’, such as elected, elector, and election. Wildcards can only be used at the end of a search term.
• + is an AND. ‘Ukraine + Putin’ will produce only results with both ‘Ukraine’ and ‘Putin’ in them
• – is a NOT. ‘Ukraine -Putin’ will show results with ‘Ukraine’  that do not also have ‘Putin’ in them.
• OR is the default function. ‘Ukraine Putin’ (do not include quotes) will show results with either ‘Ukraine’ or ‘Putin’ or both in them.
• ~ (and a space after) after a term allows for a fuzzy search.  “blue~” will show results with “blue”, “blues”, and “glue”.
• ~ with a number after a term allows for a proximity search. “Ukraine Putin”~5 will return results where ‘Ukraine’ and ‘Putin’ occur  with 5 or fewer words between them
• Field values can be specified inline—searching “Putin platform_handle:@cgtnamerica platform:Twitter” (no quotes) will return tweets (from Twitter/X) from @CGTNAmerica mentioning Putin. This is most useful for filtering to certain accounts. Allowed fields are post_type, account_country, platform_handle, account_type, account_name, post_date, platform, likes, shares, views, (note that ranges and >/< are not supported)
