How to Find and Save Favourite Searches

The Search feature on the Explore page allows you to quickly find ads by keyword, brand, or creative detail — and with Favorite Searches, you can save your most-used queries for instant access.

If you're looking for saved filters or saved search filters, this is the feature you want. Your whole filter combination is saved with the search, so you don't need to bookmark the page or reapply anything by hand.

1. Finding Ads with Search

1. Go to the Explore page: https://app.gethookd.ai/explore
2. Click the Search field at the top of the page.
3. Type a keyword, brand name, or ad characteristic (e.g., Nike, protein shake, pet supplies).
4. Press Enter to run the search.
5. Use filters (e.g., Performance, Ad format) to narrow your results.

2. Accessing Recent Searches

• When you click in the Search field, a panel opens with your Recent searches, plus Popular right now and Trending brands. Start typing and it lists matching Brands you can click to see only that brand's ads.
• Click any recent search to instantly re-run it without retyping or reapplying filters.
• Recent searches update automatically as you run new searches.

3. Saving a Search as a Favorite

1. After entering your keyword and applying at least one filter, click Save filters at the bottom of the filter bar (on a phone it's Save inside the Filters panel).
2. You'll see a Search saved successfully! message, and the button switches to Filters saved.
3. Your search — including every applied filter — is now in your Favorite searches list.

4. Using Favorite Searches

• Click Saved filters — the star button at the right of the Search bar. The number beside it shows how many searches you've saved.
• Your saved searches open in a list, each one showing the filters it carries (Performance, Ad format, Niche, and so on) so you can tell them apart at a glance.
• Choose any saved search to instantly run it with all its original filters.

5. Benefits of Favorite Searches

• Time-saving – No need to reapply filters or re-enter search terms.
• Consistency – Run the same search repeatedly for trend tracking.
• Organization – Keep your most important searches one click away.

Advanced: Manage Favorite Searches via API or MCP

Power users on an annual plan, or on monthly Team or Agency, can also create, list, update, and delete saved searches programmatically — great for syncing recurring research queries from a dashboard, a Zapier flow, or an AI agent.

• REST API: full CRUD on GET / POST / PUT / DELETE /api/v1/searches, protected by the searches:read and searches:write token scopes. See the Public API article for parameters and examples.
• MCP (Claude and other AI agents): five tools — list_saved_searches, get_saved_search, create_saved_search, update_saved_search, delete_saved_search. Read tools are free; write tools require the searches:write scope. See the MCP article to connect.

Trying to create a saved search with a name you've already used returns a clear validation error, so you won't end up with silent duplicates.

FAQs

Where are my saved filters?

Click Saved filters — the star button at the right of the Search bar. It opens your Favorite searches list. There's no separate "saved filters" area; a saved search already carries its full filter set.

Can I delete or rename a favorite search?

Yes! Both are just a click away. Open your Favorite searches by clicking Saved filters at the right of the Search bar, then find the saved search you want to change:

• To delete it: click the ⭐ star icon next to its name — it’ll be removed right away.
• To rename it: hover over the search and click the pencil (edit) icon that appears, type the new name, and press Enter to save.

That’s it — your changes take effect instantly, no need to reach out to us
