Social Searcher is a web tool for finding publicly available social content and monitoring mentions. It searches Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, Flickr, Dailymotion and VKontakte, with results that can include profiles, posts, images and conversations. Results can be filtered, sorted, or ordered by relevance and date. Search options include exact phrases, excluded terms and OR; users can also look up hashtags and images. Users Search finds public profiles by name or username, while Trending Hashtags follows popular tags across platforms. Social Listening monitors brand mentions and awareness; the service also lists web and news monitoring, sentiment analysis, and email or RSS alerts. Social Searcher says it uses publicly indexed data from major search engines. Its Free plan is $0.00 USD per free and lists 100 real-time searches per day, one monitoring and 500 saved posts per month. The service also describes searches as uncapped and available without registration, while plan details set daily limits. Social Searcher is web-only and comes from a Berlin-based maker founded in 2011.
