How to search in the Inbox

This article explains how you can search items in your inbox by keywords.

Updated over a week ago

It is possible to search your Inbox for specific keywords or phrases to find comments and messages related to an important theme or topic. You can also search for the names/usernames of your engaged users. This will help you easily identify any activity associated with this user. User search is available for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube and Google Business.

Note: User search for X is only available with our X Plus add-on.



How to search in the Inbox

To execute a search, simply click on the magnifying icon in the Inbox and enter your desired search criteria into the search bar.

When searching for a keyword, it will only apply to words starting with the search input. E.g. searching for "day" will return results for the words "daylight" or "dayum" but not "holiday"

Please note: the search doesn't include your page's posts and comments. For example, If the page "Nike" publishes a post "the new SB is up and running" and replies to their posts saying "link here to buy", neither the post nor the comment will show up in the search results. However, your page's items can still be found by searching for a comment received by the page: the post and comment will be displayed in the detailed view there
