Storyful Multisearch Extension

Storyful are happy to announce a re-launch of our Multisearch Chrome extension. We're constantly building new tools to empower our journalists to discover amazing content that newsrooms, brands and video producers can quickly turn to their advantage. One of these tools, which we're sharing with the world is our Multisearch extension.

It's a simple solution for a simple problem. Often a news story or trend breaks on one social platform and quickly spreads to others. The Multisearch extension helps you quickly query keywords across Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram and Spokeo, in the comfort of your own browser.

Simply click on the extension, enter in your search term and the extension will open up new tabs for each social network showing the the search results in each.

Please also note that this extension uses Heap Analytics for general usage statistics. Storyful only tracks how many searches are being performed and never what you are searching for.

Gibran Ashraf (ID: 000000220bfe1f22) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/16/2013 Can we include location related searches too - especially for twitter?

Marco Morello (ID: 0000002718847916) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/01/2013 Only works with twitter and youtube where you already can search with powerful tools. What it is very difficult is to search into facebok pages or profiles... That's will be really complete and useful.
