Keyword alerts find everything. Boolean search finds buyers.

Most of your keyword feed is job listings, promotional posts, and noise. Boolean search lets you describe exactly the person you're looking for — so only conversations worth entering reach your feed.

A single keyword captures everything. Most of it is irrelevant.

Monitor "CRM" and your feed fills with job listings, vendor blog posts, certification guides, and conference mentions — before a single buyer surfaces. Boolean queries let you define the intersection of terms that separates signal from noise.

Single keyword: "CRM"
  • We're hiring a CRM administrator — apply now
  • 10 CRM trends to watch this year [VENDOR BLOG]
  • CRM certification exam prep — free resources
  • Our CRM partnership with [COMPANY] is live
  • Anyone know a lightweight CRM for a 3-person SDR team?
  • CRM tutorial: setting up your pipeline in 10 minutes

1 signal buried in 6 results — before AI scoring even runs.

Boolean query
CRM AND (alternatives OR switching OR recommendations) NOT (hiring OR tutorial OR certification)
  • Anyone know a lightweight CRM for a 3-person SDR team?
  • Fed up with Salesforce. Looking for something simpler.
  • Switched CRMs last quarter — happy to share what we learned.

3 signals. Nothing else.

Three operators. Infinite precision.

AND, OR, and NOT combine with parentheses to express any targeting logic you need. Quoted phrases are syntax, not an operator — they pin a match to an exact word sequence.

ANDNarrow

All terms must appear. Use this to add required context.

Example

CRM AND "switching from"

Fewer results, higher signal

ORBroaden

At least one term must match. Use this to catch synonyms.

Example

Salesforce OR HubSpot OR Pipedrive

More results, wider coverage

NOTExclude

Term must not appear anywhere in the post. Use this to eliminate entire noise categories.

Example

CRM NOT (hiring OR tutorial)

Removes noise categories entirely

Build a query in five steps

Every listener in SnitchFeed has a query. Here is how to go from a blank field to a query that reliably surfaces the conversations you care about.

  1. 01

    Start with your primary keyword

    The single word or phrase most buyers use for your category: product name, the problem, or the category itself. This is your anchor — everything else qualifies it.

  2. 02

    AND the context you need

    AND forces the post to include a buying signal alongside your keyword. Wrap multiple acceptable signals in parentheses using OR: CRM AND (switching OR alternatives OR recommendations). Up to 5 OR terms inside the group.

  3. 03

    NOT to remove noise — group exclusions in parentheses

    Group all your exclusions after NOT: CRM AND (switching OR alternatives) NOT (hiring OR tutorial OR certification). One NOT group removes entire content categories at once.

  4. 04

    Use quoted phrases for exact matching

    Wrap multi-word terms in quotes to match them exactly: "project management" AND ("wish it had" OR "would love") NOT (job OR hiring). Unquoted terms match any case.

  5. 05

    Validate and save

    The editor checks syntax in real time and flags errors before you save. Once live, your query runs across Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky simultaneously.

Three queries teams run on day one

FOUNDER-LED SALES

Catch every tool-switching conversation

  • Every name buyers use for your category is covered in a single listener
  • Only posts where someone is actively deciding show up — no passive mentions
  • Job posts, tutorials, and certifications are gone before they reach your feed

One query catches conversations you'd never think to monitor.

Query

CRM AND (alternatives OR switching OR recommendations) NOT (hiring OR tutorial OR certification)
COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE

Monitor competitors without the fan posts

  • You see frustrated customers, not fans or official announcements
  • Job listings, press releases, and career pages are automatically filtered out
  • What's left is real purchase intent: people actively looking to switch

Only genuine customer pain, no brand noise.

Query

Salesforce AND (expensive OR overpriced OR "too complex" OR alternatives) NOT (job OR careers OR official)
PRODUCT FEEDBACK

Collect feature requests across the category

  • Every way buyers describe your product area is captured automatically
  • Only posts with actual feedback signals come through — no general chatter
  • Multiple intent clusters are combined into a single always-on listener

Organic product feedback across every platform, automatically.

Query

"project management" AND (feature OR "would love" OR "wish it had") NOT (job OR hiring OR tutorial)

Your first query runs in under 2 minutes.

Common questions about boolean search

Can't find what you're looking for? We're fast to respond.

Still have questions? Reach out at hello@snitchfeed.com

How is AND different from just listing multiple keywords?
A simple keyword list in SnitchFeed matches posts that contain any of the listed terms (OR logic). AND is stricter: every term joined by AND must appear in the same post. Use AND when you need context alongside your primary keyword — not just the keyword alone.
Can I combine AND and OR in a single query?
Yes. Use parentheses to group OR alternatives inside the AND clause. For example: CRM AND (switching OR alternatives) means the post must contain CRM and must also contain switching or alternatives. You can also group exclusions: NOT (hiring OR tutorial). Parentheses control evaluation order exactly as in a formula.
Does NOT work on quoted phrases?
Yes. NOT "job posting" excludes posts containing that exact phrase. Group multiple exclusions together: CRM AND (switching OR alternatives) NOT (hiring OR tutorial OR certification). There is no limit on the number of terms inside a NOT group.
How many terms can I add per query?
Up to 5 OR terms inside a single AND group. NOT groups are unlimited. If you need broader coverage across distinct intents, create multiple listeners — each with a focused boolean query — rather than trying to pack everything into one.
Does boolean search work the same on all platforms?
The query syntax is identical across Reddit, X, Bluesky, and LinkedIn. SnitchFeed compiles your boolean expression into each platform's native search format behind the scenes. You write one query; it runs everywhere you have enabled. On LinkedIn you can also filter matches by author job title, company, and industry; see the LinkedIn monitoring tool.
Are queries case-sensitive?
Unquoted terms are matched case-insensitively — crm, CRM, and Crm all match. Quoted phrases are case-sensitive: "CRM" will not match "crm". Use unquoted terms for brand names and product names unless you specifically need case precision.
What is the difference between simple mode and boolean mode?
Simple mode gives you two chip buckets: terms to include and terms to exclude. It is fast to set up and good for straightforward monitoring. Boolean mode exposes the full query language: AND, OR, NOT, parentheses, and quoted phrases. You can switch between modes on any listener — SnitchFeed converts between them where possible.
Can I test a query before saving it?
Yes. The query editor validates your syntax in real time and shows parse errors before you save. You will see which operator is broken and roughly where in the query the problem is, so you can fix it without trial and error.

Stop monitoring keywords. Start targeting conversations.

SnitchFeed runs your boolean query across Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky — simultaneously. Set it up once and let it run.
