The research behind your ideas
Social media research, with the source in view.
Social media search is the ability to ask one question and search across many social platforms at once — then get a single, cited answer instead of a dozen open tabs. Superlurk brings together public social sources and available engagement counters across 24 platforms.
It's the fast way to do social media marketing research — creator discovery, trend tracking, social listening and competitive intelligence — with a single question. Open the cited posts to review the evidence, check its context and decide what is useful for your next step.

Frequently asked questions
What is social media search?
Social media search lets you ask a question across several social platforms and inspect the source posts behind a summary. Superlurk searches 24 platforms — including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and Reddit — with public sources and available engagement counters. See the full social media search guide.
How is Superlurk different from social media analytics tools?
Analytics tools report on the accounts you already own. Superlurk searches the whole public social web — the creators, competitors and conversations outside your own channels — and returns cited sources to help investigate public content. Retrieval is a sample, and AI summaries can make mistakes.
Which platforms does Superlurk cover?
Superlurk has search coverage across 24 platforms. Native social-data sources support TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Threads, Lemon8; other platforms use broader web search. Coverage, counters and source availability vary. The creator beta focuses on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit.
Is Superlurk free?
Yes — a free plan is available. Search allowances, credits and access vary by plan and research mode. Check current limits and paid plans on pricing.
Does Superlurk make up engagement numbers?
Superlurk uses counters supplied by its public-data sources and keeps unavailable metrics unknown. AI summaries can make mistakes; inspect the source posts and capture times to verify an answer.
