There are many more Query writing options than just the Basic Operators. This Advanced Query Operators guide will look at the

also be used to look for terms written in the case (upper or lower) you use to write the term. The raw: operator is written as the
word raw (in lowercase) followed by a colon, immediately followed by the Query term like this:
raw:Google+
The above Query string will look for Mentions of Google+, but will return Mentions only when Google+ is written as it is in the
Query i.e. with a capital G and immediately followed by the + sign. A popular way around this is use brackets as so:
raw:(Google+ OR google+ OR Google + OR google +)
Remember, as previously stated, the raw: operator will only work with the NEAR/x or NEAR/xf operators if it is used on both
sides of the statement. Another thing to note is that, to pick up characters that are also operators (such as the * ! ? ) youll need
to use quotation marks around the term. This instructs the system not to use the symbol as an operator. For example:
raw:("*alliance" OR "*Alliance" OR "*ALLIANCE")
NB: The raw: operator is not compatible with Asian languages.

The following example will return only mentions of new york giants" from the Sport section of the ABC News website:
new york giants AND url:"abcnews.go.com/sports"
This is because all articles in the sport section of the ABC news web site have URLs that begin abcnews.go.com/sports. Note
the use of the quotation marks; this is to ensure that the whole URL is taken into account. You can also use url: to exclude sites
that contain certain terms anywhere in their url. For instance:

The above query on its own would return all Tweets from Justin Bieber (as justinbieber is his Twitter handle) but also any blog
or forum posts from anyone using that username. The author: operator will only match the exact author name given, so names
like justinbieber95 wouldnt be picked up. If you wanted to restrict this to just Justin Biebers tweets, you could do so with the
site: operator like this:
author:justinbieber AND site:twitter.com
It should be noted that the author: operator recognises special characters in names and is not case specific.
It is advised not to use the author: operator with the wildcard ( * ) operator, as the operator doesnt always work well with the
way we capture new Tweets. Instead where required it is better to add the separate author names, like so:
author:(Playstation OR PlaystationUK OR PlaystationEU)
NB: The author: operator is not compatible with Facebook API searches.

Example matches
customi?e
customise, customize
reali?e
realise, realize
juli?
julie, julia
Note that the replacement operator cannot be used at the beginning of a term, but can be used anywhere in the middle or at
the end of a term. It is also not compatible with the raw: operator, and will not function within quotation marks. The term must
have at least 2 other characters to allow the usage of the replacement operator.
You can also use several replacements operators to pick up different potential spellings. For instance:
(Haagen NEAR/1f Da??)
This will search for: Haagen Dazs or Haagen Dass or Haagen Dazz etc.
In addition to this, you can also combine the replacement operator with the wildcard operator ( * ) like so:
Organi?ation*
This will search for: organization or organisation or organizations or organizational
Example matches
house*
plan*
alumi*um
It may be apparent from the examples above that it is easy to match unintended terms if you are not careful with the wildcard
operator. Be careful when using it that you are not matching irrelevant terms.

Note that the replacement operator cannot be used at the beginning of a term, but can be used anywhere in the middle or at
the end of a term. It is also not compatible with the raw: operator, and is not supported for Asian languages. The term must
have at least 2 other characters to allow usage of the wildcard operator.
The operator will not function within quotation marks, so if youd like to use it in part of a phrase, a work around is to use the
NEAR/xf operator, like this:
(ice NEAR/0f cream*)
As using the wildcard operator can easily return unwanted mentions, its often a good idea to test how well the operator will
work with your term by excluding the stem of the term from the string and seeing what type of results get returned. You can
see an example of this below:
(iphone NEAR/15 break*) NOT break
For instance, the above Query would return mentions including "iphone" and "breakfast" but not "iphone" and "break"
