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 button. Enter the key-value pairs that you want to search for, then use the following filters to narrow down your results.

• 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 == smartphone
• newProduct == iPhone
• PRODUCT == phone
• product == 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.
