Trouble Setting Up Multiple Search Terms In Follow Module
Hi, I've been trying to set up multiple search terms per one account, but am having trouble doing so. I see that there is an option to set the destination path to a specific file that has the terms I'd like to use, but I am screwing up somewhere along the way. What I have tried to do is save the desired terms to a text file and then copy the file path directory location, which is C:\Users\Me\Desktop\search terms.txt, but when doing this it just tries to search for that (C:\Users\Me\Desktop\search terms.txt). Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!

what kind of search are you trying to perform?
What does the file contain? It should be one search per line, and not include URLS

It is just search terms, like "new song" or "favorite band", one per line, I believe I am doing something wrong with setting the file directory, since the tweet search is for what I put to be the file directory - "C:/USER/desktop/searches.txt" or something similar to this.

ahh you mean it is a CUSTOM search? Not a default search (from the drop down?)

Re: Trouble Setting Up Multiple Search Terms In Follow Modul
custom search with a file path works for me creating multiple actions
I need to see / know what you are doing EXACTLY
Please describe each step, explain what values you enter, what parameters you set and provide me with the file and the path you are typing in.
If the path you type in DOES NOT EXIST, then the program doesn't know it is a file and will think it is a search term
c:\path\to\fle.txt
would fail, if the file is: file.txt

ok thanks for your help on that, it turns out what I am looking for is to get a spintax search going, is that possible here?

Re: Trouble Setting Up Multiple Search Terms In Follow Modul
you mean enter a search like
{techno|house|edm|dubstep|rap|hiphop}
And have the program randomly search each time it runs?
IF so, that should be fine

Hope it's not a bother but can you check if it works for you. I tried copying and pasting your example into search and follow area, and did follow authors of tweets returned by tweet search and it appears to be searching for the whole term {techno|house|edm|dubstep}.

My apologies, it isn't working. Seems like a recent changed accidently removed it.
Will re-add and update the software later today
