Operator “OR”

We have great news for you who use Scup for Facebook monitoring. Now you can use the operator OR, and make searches with more than one word, using pipe |. What does that mean?

That means that you can reduce the number of searches by words.

For example, if you want to create a search with the words “car” and “motorcycle”, that words could be in the same search. Like this way: car | motorcycle.

Using this operator, you can reduce your searches on Scup. Today, Facebook allows us to collect items for only the last 30 days, but may be extended in the future. The items that are collected are just the public ones.

If you had Facebook searches registered, how do you configure this option without losing previously collected items?

  1. Create a new search with keywords and the pipe | ,
  2. Then pause your old searches on Facebook.

Searches by “exact words/phrase”

Now, you can register searches with keywords “exact”, using quotation marks (“”), like, “old car” to see the exactly result of this expression.

You also can use in the same search the operator pipe (|) and quotation marks (“”), like the example: “old car” | “old motorcycle”.

PS: This search ignores characters between the key words.

Search by “locale”

To have more specific searchs, you can use “locale”, a search that combines language + local.

Facebook searches become more effective with locale selection, which includes goes beyond simply language selection.  For example, you can search Spanish item keywords original only from Spain.

Available languages are listed on the form to add Facebook’s search.
