Search or filter reviews

Find the specific reviews you need using either:

  • Global search bar: Best for quickly finding specific reviews.
  • Filters: Best for precise results based on ratings, dates, or moderation status.

1. Search using the global search bar

Use the search bar at the top of the List View to find a review using a specific ID or keyword:

  • Supported search types: Review ID, Review title, Product name/ID, Campaign ID, or specific keywords (e.g., "Battery overheating").
  • Exact match: Enclose your search in double quotation marks ( "EnduranceFlyer07") to exclude partial matches.
  • Bulk search: Enter multiple IDs or keywords separated by commas (279957, 279859).

Search bar containing three numerical review IDs separated by commas.

Search tips:

  • Quick-copy feature: Use the copy-to-clipboard button to paste your IDs directly and avoid typos.
  • Contributor search: To search by contributor name or ID (hidden by default), ask your Account Administrator to enable PII (Personally Identifiable Information) permissions.
  • Filters: Use filters for more accurate results. They help you target specific content and clear out the irrelevant results (noise). 
  • Sort reviews: Use the drop-down in the List View to reorder your results by Rating (High to Low/Low to High) or Date (New to Old/Old to New).
