Filters are a really effective way to narrow the focus and find just the right content! 

  • Filter functionality based on Twitter Advanced Search

  • no need to add operators AND, OR, -  we take care of that for you

  • Filtering available for your @hometimeline, single @users, @userlists, Me & the people I follow, #tags, RSS feeds and G+ user

  • There are no filters available for Facebook, YouTube and G+ key word content streams ( in case you are looking for them )

How to:

1. Access your content sources

2. Click on this icon:

3. Choose the filter option and add your keywords:

  • ALL of these words: Only content where all of these words are found will be published

  • Any of these words: Only content where one of these words is found will be published

  • None of these words: Content where these words are found will NOT be published on the paper. 

  • If you search for an exact phrase, please add it within quotes ("Exact Phrase").

  • Important hint: Enter your key words and we will add the operator value on our end ( AND, OR..) You don't need to do a thing

  • You key words will automatically be displayed as you type them in

  • You can hide your key words (and minimize your filter box) once you have finished by clicking on the filter icon.

4. Save the changes!

Note:  When you add a filter and specify which tweets should taken into account for your newspaper, please consider that we will only search for the content pertaining to that tweet and we will discard the rest. Increasing the amount words to filter against / for can significantly reduce the amount of content on your Paper.li. We recommend a maximum of 200 letters.

Please note: Not all search (filter) criteria are supported by Paper.li, such as location and distance.
