On April 30th 2015 Facebook deprecated the Search API for public posts by keywords, which provided poor results and was unstable. New API allows to monitor exact Facebook pages feeds to get more accurate social tracking. New version of the Facebook monitoring service by Social Searcher will collect all updates, mentions and comments on your own Facebook page or your competitor’s one.
Another big news for Social Searcher users: we’ve integrated 7 new popular networks for you to search. Share this great update of the leading free social media search solution with your friends and keep on reading for more details.

Search operators
– Phrase search (””). By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Social Searcher to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change.
– Terms you want to exclude (-). Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want posts that contain this word to appear in your results.
– The OR operator. If you want to specifically allow either one of several words, you can use the OR operator (note that you have to type ‘OR’ in ALL CAPS).
This syntax is correctly mapped to the Advanced options keywords, exact keywords and minus keywords lists. There is no need to change existing saved searches.
Easy navigation
Interface of the Social Searcher became more user friendly, check up a new navigation bar at the bottom of the screen for easy scrolling between networks columns.
Collapse saved searches area for even more space.
