Search signals by key-value pairs
Search for one or multiple signals, based on their respective key-value pairs.
To search for more than one signal, click the
- Signal status: search for signals included in traits, unused signals, or both.
- View records for: select the time interval in which to search for received signals.
- Minimum counts: display only signals with the specified minimum total count in the selected interval.
When searching for signals using multiple key-value pairs, Audience Manager links the pairs using the logical AND operator. For instance, let’s say you’re performing a search with the following key-value pairs:
- c_creative == “12345”
- c_product == “smartphone”
- c_location == “europe”
This search will return only results that qualify for all three filters on the same call: c_creative == "12345" AND c_product == "smartphone" AND c_location == "europe".
Signals excluded from signal search
Key variables used by Audience Manager and prefixed by the d_ and h_ prefixes are not surfaced by Signals Search. See Prefix Requirements for Key Variables for details.
Case sensitivity and search auto-completion
The key and value search fields are case sensitive. The key search field includes auto-completed suggestions.
Let’s say Audience Manager received the following signals:
productCategory == smartphonenewProduct == iPhonePRODUCT == phoneproduct == PHONE
When you enter product in the key search field, you receive auto-completed suggestions for productCategory and product.
Similarly, when you search for product == PHONE, Data Explorer returns results only for product == PHONE.
Backfilled trait realizations are also case sensitive. A trait containing the signal with the key-value pair PRODUCT == SMARTPHONE does not qualify the signal with the key-value pair product == smartphone.
