# Text Search

{% embed url="<https://app.guideflow.com/player/dr92qg6fok>" fullWidth="true" %}

With text search, you can find messages that contain a specific word or phrase. For example, entering the word `війна` (war) in the "Search in the text <img src="/files/1crZEEDltfVLDF5Qc5kY" alt="" data-size="line">" field will display all messages where this word is mentioned. The same principles are applied to achieve more relevant search results in this tool as in other search engines. The search will be more effective if you enter a phrase with the "+" symbol. If you enclose your query in quotation marks " ", the system will find only exact matches that fully correspond to your request.

The text search feature is available in all viewing modes, including [tables](/tg-research/viewing-mode/table.md) and [charts](/tg-research/viewing-mode/charts-and-graphs.md), and in the [Quotes](/tg-research/extra-tab/quotes.md) section.

Using the tool, you can count how often the word `війна` (war) is mentioned. For example, in the "[Filters](/tg-research/filters.md)" panel > "Unit Title," indicators are showing how many times this query appears in individual chats or channels, as shown in the screenshot below. Similar indicators can be found in other sections of the "Filters" panel.

You can also combine text search with filters. For example, enter the word `США` (USA) in the "Search in the text <img src="/files/1crZEEDltfVLDF5Qc5kY" alt="" data-size="line">" field and select "Yes" in the "Has image" filter. As a result, the tool will sort all messages containing the word `USA` that also have images.
