How it works
A simple rule for defensible queries
Group synonyms
fraud OR scam expands coverage beyond a single expression.
Remove known noise
bank AND NOT hiring excludes jobs, but can remove relevant content when overused.
Control precedence
(bank OR fintech) AND fraud applies the topic to either category.
Important limitation
Valid syntax does not mean every platform understands it
X, LinkedIn and Reddit may accept advanced syntax depending on the Actor. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook usually require separate searches followed by local filtering. Start with a small sample and inspect false positives.

FAQ
Before you run
Can operators be lowercase?
Yes. The validator normalizes them to uppercase, although the standard form is safer when copying the query elsewhere.
What if I omit AND between two terms?
The validator inserts an implicit AND and warns you. This helps beginners without hiding the correction.
Why does one expression create several searches?
OR combinations must be split when the source lacks Boolean syntax. Results are then merged, deduplicated and filtered.
