CSL Quick Search vs Saved Search

Modified on: Tue, 22 Nov, 2022 at 6:16 PM

Cision Social Listening provides two kinds of searches: quick searches and saved searches. If you want to monitor a topic on an ongoing basis, think of quick searches as previews. Start with a quick search to see instant results, determine whether the results are relevant to you, and then refine as necessary. When you have finished refining your search query, save it, so it’s always updated with the latest results!
