What this tutorial is about

• Article Search is where svEye turns into a power-user tool.
• It lets you build precise queries across global OSINT.
• This tutorial shows how to move from keywords to structured intelligence.

When to use Article Search

Use Article Search when you want to:

• monitor specific risks, topics, or narratives
• build repeatable intelligence queries
• go beyond basic entity search

Typical use cases:

• risk & threat monitoring
• compliance and adverse media
• geopolitical and market analysis

Step-by-step: How Article Search works

Step 1: Open Article Search

• Navigate to Article Search to build a custom query.
• This mode gives you full control over what you track.

Step 2: Start typing your query

• Enter keywords, company names, or topics.
• svEye instantly suggests relevant entities and categories.

Step 3: Explore all mentions and categories

• See how your topic appears across articles.
• Review all detected categories before narrowing down.

Step 4: Refine using NER (Named Entity Recognition)

• Narrow your search to specific:
  • companies
  • people
  • locations
  • assets
• This removes ambiguity and noise.

Step 5: Use Boolean operators

• Combine logic using AND / OR / NOT.
• Build queries that:
  • expand scope
  • narrow focus
  • exclude irrelevant results

Step 6: Find operators next to each item

• Operators are available directly next to categories and entities.
• No need to write complex syntax manually.

Step 7: Browse categories in a tree structure

• Categories are organized hierarchically.
• Start broad, then drill down step by step.

Step 8: Let relevance guide you

• At each level, only categories relevant to your query remain visible.
• This keeps refinement fast and intuitive.

Step 9: Add selected items to your query

• Once you find what you need, add it using operators.
• Your query logic updates instantly.

Step 10: Confirm your query

• Lock in your selection before running the search.

Step 11: Run the refined search

• Execute the query to see results based on your logic.
• This becomes the foundation for monitoring and alerts.

Understanding your results

• Results include:
  • interactive timeline
  • detected articles
  • event and category context
• You can open any article for full detail.

Best practices & tips

• Start broad, then refine using NER.
• Use OR to explore, AND to focus, NOT to clean noise.
• Save strong queries for reuse and alerts.
