Questions
Instagram Reels search FAQ
- Is it really free?
- Yes. You get 5 searches a day with no account. A free Glystn account comes with 100 credits for full results, filters and follow-up questions.
- How does it match my words?
- It looks for your exact phrase, as whole words, inside the video and in its caption. It does not guess at related words, so “protein coffee” will not match “coffee with protein”. Try the wording people would actually say.
- What does “said on camera” mean?
- The creator said your phrase out loud in the video. A result marked “In the caption” has it in the written caption only. Searching captions alone would miss the first kind.
- Does it search every Reel?
- No. It searches the millions of public creator videos Glystn has analyzed, a set that grows every day, not all of Instagram. A new or small Reel may not be in it yet.
- Why are results ordered by likes and not views?
- Every Reel has a like count but not always a public view count, so likes are the number that compares fairly across them.
- Can I search TikTok too?
- Yes. The TikTok video search does the same for TikTok, and a Glystn account searches both together.
