Using Special Characters

Using Special Characters

The following characters are reserved:

 + - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /  

If any of the above characters are in a keyword or phrase being searched, you can escape the character with a backslash: \. For example, to search for mentions of a URL within a document, such as https://darkowl.com/darkint-blog, you must escape the colon, forward slashes, and hyphen, otherwise the search will return an error.

You can perform this search multiple ways:

  • Escaping the special characters: https\:\/\/darkowl.com\/darkint-blog
  • Putting the whole keyword in quotes: "https://darkowl.com/darkint-blog"

Note: Please contact the support team if you run into issues with special characters. In some cases there may be a product solution to assist. In the case of domain research, you can use our Website Mention search tool or API parameter and we will automatically optimize the search to look for the domain, subdomain or domain within a full URL for you.
