In PublicSonar you can search with different types of queries, including building blocks, locations, and accounts.
Searching on a location
Start by clicking 'Add location'.
Choose if you want to take an existing location from the library or create a custom location.
When choosing a custom location, give the location a name and search in the box for the name of the location. You can use the squares of the location to change its size.
Searching on a building block
Open the search box and type in a word. If the word matches with either the title or one of the search terms in the building block, it appears as a suggestion. Click on it to add it and save the search.
Alternatively, you can add a building block directly from the library. This can be useful if you're not aware of what building block you're looking for.
Searching on an account
Open the search box and select 'Add account'.
Pick an account list from the library or choose 'Custom account'. When going for a custom account, make sure to select the source you want to monitor and then fill in either the username or URL of the account.
