# solari instagram content search

> Keyword search across captions, creator bios, and video transcriptions.

- **CLI**: `solari instagram content search`
- **MCP tool**: `solari_instagram_content_search`
- **Access**: `solari:read` — Works with any signed-in SOLARI account.

Lexical keyword search over tracked posts: matches captions, creator bios, and video transcription text (Korean-aware analysis plus n-gram partial matching), ranked by relevance with match highlights. Each item carries post_id, author account_id/username, caption, transcription text, engagement counts, and score — feed post_id into solari_instagram_content_detail or solari_instagram_content_batch and the account reference into the account tools. Coverage: only regions KR, JP, US, and TW are searchable, holding roughly the most recent 6 months of posts; total is exact up to 10,000 and saturates there. Narrow with since/until (UTC dates). Works with any signed-in SOLARI account.

**When to use it** — Finding posts by topic or phrasing. When the answer is a count, use content aggregate instead.

**What comes back** — Relevance-ranked hits with match highlights.

## Parameters

- `query` (string, required) — Free-text keyword query matched against captions, creator bios, and video transcriptions.
- `region` (enum, optional, default "KR") — Region to search. Only these four regions are indexed. Values: `KR`, `JP`, `US`, `TW`.
- `limit` (integer, optional, ≥ 1) — Maximum hits, default 20. Values above 100 are clamped to 100.
- `offset` (integer, optional, default 0, ≥ 0) — Pagination offset, default 0.
- `since` (string, optional, pattern ^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$) — Only posts on or after this UTC date, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive. Data older than ~6 months is not indexed.
- `until` (string, optional, pattern ^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$) — Only posts on or before this UTC date, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
