How does social listening in search work?

When you run a search that includes hashtags or mentions, we’ll automatically show you a social listening chart for those terms — right at the top of your results! 🎯

Here’s how it works:

• If your search includes hashtags (like #BrandName) or mentions (like @CompetitorName ), we’ll display a real-time chart powered by your social listening data.
• This chart is the same one from your Social Listening dashboard, so it comes with all the familiar features — you can filter by timeline, platform, and more.
• If you update the platform filter, the chart (and the underlying data) will refresh to match your new scope. 📊✨

Instead of listing top posts directly in the results, you’ll see a “See top posts” button. Click it to open a sleek modal view where you can browse the full results grid of relevant posts.

This way, you get powerful visual insights without leaving Search — and can dive deeper whenever you're ready.
