When creating a search, you will notice filters listed below your keywords. You can use these filters to narrow down your results and better identify what you’re looking for. 

Check out the different filter sets below: 

• Source Type - The source type filter allows you to select content from specific sources like News, Social, or Broadcast. When not selecting an individual source, your results return documents across ALL source types.

• Language - You may select one or more languages to restrict results to content written in those languages.

• Location - To offer more precision when filtering via location our locations are presented in a hierarchy of Country → State/Province → City. When you click on the Location dropdown filter, you are presented with an alphabetical list of countries as well as an item for “Unknown” to capture unattributed documents.

• Keyword - When entering a keyword or phrase into this filter and applying it to your search, it will apply the keyword to your query. The keyword filter is frequently used after loading saved searches to further explore results, adding keywords to see the impact on results without changing the original query. You can repeat the process to add multiple keywords or phrases.

• Sentiment - The Sentiment filter segments results by Positive, Negative, Neutral, or Not Rated.

• Author - The Authors filter allows you to save a list of Twitter handles to use as a filter for a search. Note that applying an Author filter will by definition restrict your search results to only Twitter. The Authors filter can be useful in monitoring a set of influencers.

• Custom Categories - Custom Categories allow you to save searches that you frequently use to sub-filter other searches, saving you time and effort. You can use custom categories to exclude sources or terms that are irrelevant to your results or save a set of competitors you research, etc.

• Filter Set - Filter sets are saved filters that you can reuse at the click of a button. Common use cases include creating filter sets for specific sets of locations and languages, for a set of editorial sources that you wish to capture, or including only a particular set of sources in your results.
