Dates follow your workspace time zone. The chart compares daily post counts on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Days with no matching posts show 0. Look at post volume together with views, engagement, and what people are saying to get a full picture of how a trend is moving.

Quick search vs. Query detail vs. Query explorer

  • Quick search: Find posts by keyword fast and see 30-day trends by platform.
  • Query detail: Review a Query’s collected Posts, its Noise posts, and its Query settings.
  • Query explorer: Compare Queries of the same type side by side, across posts, performance, sentiment, conversation, and demographics, and save your setup as a View.
Quick search is best for finding posts and spotting trends. For sentiment, themes, or demographics, create a Query to track the subject over time.
