For the March Boolean Competetion, I tested the code given below, yet there were results coming from other sources (Reddit, Blogs, YouTube, etc.)? Could anybody explain this? Thanks!

((infoType:“news” OR infoType:“social”) AND (“St. Patrick’s Day” OR "Saint Patrick's Day" OR “St. Patrick’s celebrat*” OR "Saint Patrick's celebrat*" OR “St. Patricks Parade” OR "Saint Patricks Parade" OR "St. Paddy's Day" OR "Saint Paddy's Day") AND (“Dublin, Ireland” OR (“Dublin” NEAR/5 “Ireland” OR "Festival Quarter") OR “National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks”))

Hi @Dexin_WHO_WPR - Reddit, Blogs, and YouTube are considered social sources in Explore. When you enter infoType:Social, you are requesting data from anything considered a social source. If you want to limit a search to a specific channel rather than all social sources, you can use one of our Social Type operators:
 

  • socialType:“twitter”

  • socialType:“facebook”

  • socialType:“instagram”

  • socialType:“reddit”

  • socialType:“youtube”

  • socialType:“social_comments”

  • socialType:“social_reviews”

  • socialType:“social_message_boards”

  • socialType:“social_blogs”
