Search the whole social web
Social media search across 24 platforms — cited
Search public social posts with one research question. Superlurk combines available sources into a cited answer so creators and marketers can inspect the evidence before deciding what to do next.
What is social media search?
Social media search helps you investigate public posts, videos and conversations around a question. Native platform search is useful for a specific feed; cross-platform research helps compare the different contexts in which a topic appears.
Superlurk combines native social-data integrations and domain-focused web search across supported platforms. Availability varies by query and source. Cited answers and available counters help you find relevant evidence; open the original posts to verify the summary and its context.
Use social search to investigate an audience question, discover reference creators or understand a competitor. It complements your own account analytics: public observations cannot reveal private reach, conversion or viewer demographics.
How it works
How Superlurk works
Three steps from a question to a cited answer.
- Step 1
Ask in plain English

We lurk across the social web
Superlurk searches across 24 platforms using public social-data sources and broader web search. Coverage and available counters vary.
- Step 3
Get a cited answer
Follow the cited posts and available engagement counters behind an answer. Missing metrics stay unknown; verify AI summaries against their sources.

Illustrative workflow
From a question to a useful decision
What questions do beginners ask about making cold brew at home?
- Evidence to inspect
- Compare recent tutorial posts, comment questions and relevant public discussions. Keep the wording, source links and dates; separate practical constraints from product recommendations.
- Decision this can inform
- Choose one specific question to answer with your own demonstration, such as a small-batch recipe for limited fridge space.
- What the sample cannot establish
- A sampled conversation cannot establish total search demand, purchasing intent or a guaranteed successful post.
