Better understanding "search"

Closed

Hashtag search is clear that you look for the match between provided keyword and hashtags. But, hashtags are a miss n hit sometimes.

So, was quite intrigued to see the search sorting field. But, unable to understand how it works - do you search for it in the "content spoken" inside the video? What does seach for top content mean? If selected user then it matches the keyword to user profile names?

I am interested in searching for top videos (in a country) for a certain industry (say shoes) that are trending currently. What's the best way to do this?

How do I be sure that these are top results and ideally what audience in that country is watching?

"Use the Search sorting field below to specify whether you want your search to apply to top content, videos or users. As for your query's format, you can use any query that works on TikTok.

Hi. The search is basically using TikTok's search bar. I am not really familiar how it works internally for them and assume it's a match both based on the content spoken, video description, tags added etc

Regarding search sorting, it might be not the most fit name, it's rather a filter. And again, this is what you can see directly on Tiktok's website (see the screenshot). From what I can say, Top/Video categories are mostly identical, so you may choose any of them.

As for country-based search, this could be implemented via proxies, but not supported yet and might be added in the future

I'll close this issue and keep track of proxy issue in the other one for now
