Customize Your Results

Freespoke offers a number of options to customize your search results. Customization can be done on search results page, or by changing your account’s search settings.

Search Result Filters

Freespoke allows you to filter results by political bias or by date.

Search Bar Filter Options

Visit Freespoke and enter a term into the search bar. Hit enter or tap the search button. Once results load, tap the “Filters” button just below the search bar. Drop downs will appear allowing you to filter by the date at which the content was published, or by the political bias of the publisher. Visit our Bias page to learn more about how Freespoke rates publisher bias.

You can add additional sites from the page by typing a URL or domain into the “New Search Filter” field and choosing whether to Favorite or Block it from the “Result Priority” dropdown.

You can view, edit, or remove existing search rules from the “Existing Rules” list. For instance, in the above screenshot, you could change “cnn.com” from Favorite to Blocked, or tap the “x” to remove the filter entirely.
