How to Use TikTok Search

To start, open the TikTok app and tap the magnifying glass icon at the bottom. This will take you to the search page where you can enter keywords, hashtags, or specific phrases. TikTok will display a range of results, including videos, users, sounds, and hashtags relevant to your search.

For instance, typing in "sustainable" might bring up trending videos, popular recipe creators, and related hashtags. This allows you to find content that fits your interests or marketing needs easily.

Advanced Search Tips

1. Leverage Hashtags: Hashtags are a powerful way to narrow down your search results. Searching for #fitnessmotivation, for example, can lead you directly to content focused on workout inspiration.
2. Explore Trending Sounds: TikTok is known for its viral sounds. Searching for a trending sound will show you a plethora of videos using that audio, providing insight into how it's being used creatively.
3. Utilize Filters: TikTok allows you to filter your search results by relevance, video upload date, and popularity. This feature is particularly useful for finding either the latest content or the most viewed videos.
4. Follow Creators: If you find a creator whose content resonates with you, follow them to ensure their videos appear more frequently in your feed. This also helps TikTok's algorithm suggest similar content.
