Filter settings allow you to refine the search results for Saved Searches.
To access Filters, click on the filter icon on the left side of the Search results screen.

Mentions data can be broken down by the following filters:
- Keyword
- Use the Keyword filter to layer additional keywords on top of the current search query. These searches function as an AND statement.
- For example, if the current search is looking for "Nike", and you want to find out specifically about Nike pants, you would type in “pants” to the keyword box, which would result in all mentions that have the word “Nike” AND “pants”.

When you setup a new query and save it, data is backfilled by 12 months from the date you first create the query, then continue on an ongoing basis to include 12 months of data from the current date. For example, if you set up a query on Jan. 1, 2021, data would backfill to Jan. 1, 2020. On Jan. 2, 2021, you’d be able to look back to Jan. 2, 2020.
