The Search Bar gives users powerful tools to refine results across posts, accounts, and websites. Each search option targets a specific type of data, allowing you to pinpoint exactly the listings or entities you need to investigate.
The definitions below explain what each search field does and how it can be used to filter, include, or exclude results with precision:
Search keyword as Post URL - Filters results by matching keywords against the full URL of a listing/post. Use this when you want to find posts hosted on specific domains, subdomains, or URL structures.
Search keyword as Website URL - Filters results based on keywords found in a captured website URL. Ideal for identifying websites belonging to a certain domain, seller network, or fraudulent web structure.
Search keyword as Account URL - Searches for keywords contained in the URL of a user account (e.g., profile links or shop URLs). Useful for spotting specific sellers, storefronts, or repeat infringers.
Search keyword as Cluster Name - Matches keywords against cluster names (seller network) —automatically grouped entities in Zeal representing related listings, accounts, or websites. Use this to find all items connected to a specific cluster or naming convention.
Search keyword as Account name to include - Returns results where the account name contains the keywords entered. Helpful for locating sellers using certain brand names, aliases, or repeated naming patterns.
Search keyword as Account name to exclude - Filters out results where the account name contains the excluded keywords. Use this to remove known legitimate sellers, irrelevant accounts, or noise terms.
Search keyword in text to include - Searches for keywords within listing titles, descriptions, account bios, or website bios, depending on the page you're in.
Search keyword in text to exclude - Removes any results where the keyword appears in those same text fields.
Search keyword as text in OCR to include - Matches keywords detected through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of images. This finds listings where keywords appear inside images themselves, such as labels, logos, screenshots, or text overlays.
Search keyword as text in OCR to exclude - Excludes results where OCR-extracted text contains the specified keywords. Useful for filtering out listings with certain on-image claims or branding.
Search keyword as Contact Info to include - Finds results that contain the keyword within contact information fields, such as phone numbers, email addresses, or messaging handles. Helps identify repeated sellers or networks.
Search keyword as Item Sizes to include - Returns results where the product includes specific item sizes (e.g., "M", "Large", "EU 40", “50ml”). Useful for detecting size-specific listings.
Search keyword as Item Sizes to exclude - Filters out listings that mention certain sizes. This is helpful when targeting or removing specific variants, bundles, or packaging formats.
The Keywords in Text to Include / Exclude function allows you to filter listings, accounts, and websites based on specific words or phrases found in their text fields.
Different sections of Zeal search different datasets:
Posts View searches keywords found in the listing Title or Description
Account View searches keywords found in the Account Bio
Website View searches keywords found in any website bio or captured description
Use double quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.
Example:
Searching "Brand Protection" will return only results containing that exact phrase.
It will not return results such as “Protection of Brands”, because the wording and order are different.
When you enter multiple keywords as separate search terms, Zeal treats them as an OR search.
Example:
Searching Core and Brand Protection as separate inputs will match entries containing either “Core” or “Brand Protection”.
This means entries that include “Protection of Brands” will also appear when matched under the “Brand Protection” term.
If you enter multiple keywords in the same search field without quotes, Zeal will search for results that contain all of those keywords somewhere in the text.
Example:
Searching trademark Core Brand Protection
will return results containing Trademark AND Core AND Brand Protection—all of them present within the same listing, account, or website text.
You can remove unwanted results by adding terms to Keywords to Exclude.
Example:
Adding decades as an excluded keyword will return results that do not contain the word “decades.”
Zeal will show entries matching your included keywords AND excluding any that contain the blocked terms.
