Advanced filtering options

Mentionlytics offers various filters to customize your search by parameters like channel, sentiment, and language. You can combine these filters for more targeted results.

For even more specific results, use the search box at the top right of your screen to find exact mentions by searching for a specific word or query.

For more advanced queries, click the circles button next to the search box. This opens a pop-up window where you can build complex queries within your mentions.

You can use Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT to refine your search results for more precise monitoring.

Note: Use quotes for multiple keywords (e.g., "social media")

The following operators are available in the Boolean advanced search.

They are clickable in the interface for easy use.

Either word, condition, or "phrase of words" can be present. This means a mention can contain one of these options.

Shows mentions that contain either "pasta" OR "spaghetti"

The word, condition, or "phrase of words" MUST be contained in the mention.

Example: pasta AND "hand made"
Shows mentions that contain both "pasta" AND "hand made"

The word, condition, or "phrase of words" should NOT be present in the mention.

Example: pasta AND NOT "hand made"
Shows mentions that contain "pasta" but not the phrase "hand made"

By default, only mentions that match your filters and queries are shown. When this option is enabled, the system automatically includes child mentions of those results (mainly mentions captured because of the original parent mention, such as comments on a post).

Child mentions are independent of the filters and queries, only the parent post must match the applied filters.

For web mentions, the basic search checks only the initial part of an article. However, a keyword used in your Boolean search may not appear in the title or beginning of the article.

When this option is enabled, the system searches within the entire article to detect your keyword.

Let's say you want to find results from the UK and US containing the keywords "potato" and "recipe," but excluding results from user "john12" and excluding the word "roast."

Tip: You can save your query as a preset to apply it again in the future.
