FAQ

At the top of the newsPoint Platform, there is a search engine with advanced search capabilities, which allows you to search monitored publications from all projects.

You can search for information by phrase, and in the advanced options also by words that clarify the sought information and include declention of the phrase or the size of letters.

You can find the advanced options by clicking on the icon on the left side of search engine. After following the instructions below, advanced search will have no secrets for you.

1. Enter key words or phrases to search for the desired materials, e.g. Media Monitoring Institute.
2. Next, decide whether you want the searched materials to include declention of the phrase or the size of letters.
3. Next, type words or phrases that you want to see in the results. For example Media Monitoring. If you add media monitoring and monitoring to the key phrase, you will get publications that mentioned at least one of the aforementioned clarifying words.
4. You can supplement the key phrase Media Monitoring Institute, for example with a review of publications which authors mention IMM including phrases like media monitoring, monitoring and review of publications.
5. Enter words or phrases that you do not want to see in the results, for example Job advertisement.
6. Using additional criteria, determine the number of words between the keyword and the clarifying phrase. In the case of a phrase Media Monitoring Institute, this number could be 10 – then the media monitoring results will not include publications which mention Media Monitoring and Monitoring phrases in a bigger distance than 10 words from the keyword.
7. Narrow down your search to publications in which a given phrase occurs a specified number of times at the minimum. In this way, you will dodge publications in which a given phrase occurs too rarely as an unimportant mention in the context of full content of the article.
8. In the last step, decide and select if you want to receive materials with a content and a title or just the titles.
9. Save changes

• Find the list of predefined filters and expand it to see the available options such as “in linkedin” and “important”.
• If you want to search for content only from LinkedIn, select the filter marked “in linkedin” from the list.
• Or, if you want to search for content with the highest importance (materials appeared on the home page), select the “Important” filter.
• After selecting the appropriate filters, click the “Filter” button to apply the settings.

Remember that predefined filters are automatically set on the Platform, but depending on the available options, you can customize them to your preferences and needs.

?If you want to filter materials by specific media, use the Media tab, which is located on the right side of the Platform.
