How to Get the Most Out of TikTok Search

TikTok is more than just a platform for viral dances and challenges, it's a powerful search engine for discovering content, trends, and influencers across various niches. Understanding how to use TikTok's search feature effectively can significantly enhance your experience, whether you're a casual user or a marketer looking to tap into the latest trends.

How to Use TikTok Search

Tiktok Srach

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.

We're able to quickly and painlessly create automated
scrapers across a variety of sites without worrying about
getting blocked (loading JS, rotating proxies, etc.),
scheduling, or scaling up when we want more data
- all we need to do is open the site that we want to
scrape in devtools, find the elements that we want to
extract, and MrScraper takes care of the rest! Plus, since
MrScraper's pricing is based on the size of the data that
we're extracting it's quite cheap in comparison to most
other services. I definitely recommend checking out
MrScraper if you want to take the complexity
out of scraping.

Now that I've finally set-up and tested my first scraper,
I'm really impressed. It was much easier to set up than I
would have guessed, and specifying a selector made it
dead simple. Results worked out of the box, on a site
that is super touch about being scraped.

I actually never expected us to be making this many
requests per month but MrScraper is so easy that we've
been increasing the amount of data we're collecting -
I have a few more scrapers that I need to add soon.
You're truly building a great product.
