Building Your First Search

Learn how to use our visual block builder and AI-powered natural language interface to create powerful X/Twitter searches.

X/Twitter Advanced Search Builder Interface

Visual Block Builder

Our visual builder lets you construct searches by combining color-coded blocks:

Blue blocksfor keywords and phrases
Green blocksfor user filters
Purple blocksfor media filters
Orange blocksfor date ranges
Red blocksfor engagement metrics

How it works:

  1. 1. Drag blocks from the sidebar or click to add them
  2. 2. Fill in required values (words, dates, numbers)
  3. 3. Combine multiple blocks to refine your search
  4. 4. Remove blocks you don't need anymore

Natural Language Search

Simply describe what you're looking for in plain English, and our AI will build the perfect search. After the AI generates your blocks, you can still add, remove, or adjust any parameters to fine-tune your query.
