Search
The Search page lets you find TikTok profiles, hashtags, and audio tracks to add to your portfolios. It lets you search your existing library, search TikTok directly, or search tracked posts by meaning.
How to search
- Click Search in the sidebar
- Enter a search term (at least 2 characters)
- Three tabs appear: My Library, TikTok Live, and By meaning
My Library
The My Library tab shows results from your existing database instantly, in three columns — Users, Hashtags, and Audio. It’s free and immediate. Results show 10 per column at a time; use Previous and Next to page through.
Filters above the results narrow each column:
- User filters — Verified only, and a follower-count minimum and maximum
- Hashtag filters — Commerce only, and a minimum view count
- Audio filters — Original sounds only, and a duration minimum and maximum (in seconds)
TikTok Live
Not finding what you need in your library — whether it’s empty or the results aren’t the right ones? Switch to the TikTok Live tab to search TikTok directly:
- Open the TikTok Live tab (or click Search TikTok live from an empty library result)
- Pick a region from the dropdown — 20 regions are available (e.g., United States, Germany, Japan), with United States selected by default
- Click the search button — it reads Search TikTok for “your term” the first time, then Update results after — and fresh results load in the same three columns
- Results you find are saved to your library for next time
By meaning
Open the By meaning tab and describe what you’re looking for in plain language (“morning routine hooks”, “skincare unboxing”). Instead of matching exact keywords, it finds the posts whose content is closest in meaning — a fast way to explore a topic across the profiles we track. It looks across the profiles we track rather than all of TikTok, so coverage grows as more profiles are added. Use Load more at the bottom to see further matches. Available on Starter and above — on lower plans, the tab shows an upgrade card instead.
Adding to a portfolio
- Select a portfolio from the Add to portfolio dropdown in the search card, just below the search box (it appears once you’ve typed at least 2 characters)
- Click Add next to any result (profile, hashtag, or audio track)
- The item is added to your portfolio and starts tracking automatically
Search columns
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Users | TikTok profiles with avatar, handle, follower count, and region |
| Hashtags | Hashtag names with view counts |
| Audio | Audio track titles with author and duration |
Tips
- Start with My Library — it’s instant. TikTok Live searches take longer and are rate-limited: the button pauses briefly after each search, and if you search too quickly you’ll see a “Too many searches” message asking you to wait a few seconds. Live searches in AI assistants use a separate allowance — see AI assistants.
- Use regions — online search results vary by country. Try different regions to find local creators.
- Create a portfolio first — you need at least one portfolio to add items from search results.
