How do I filter my survey results?

Keyword searching and demographic segmentation

Filter your survey results to focus on specific keywords, demographic segments, or response attributes (like Bookmarked or Helpful). As you filter, the URL updates — copy it to share a filtered view with anyone.

Open the search and filter panel

On your results page, scroll to the written responses section and click Search and filter. A panel drops down with a search field at the top and expandable filter categories below.

Search by keyword

Type any word or phrase into the Search responses and filters field at the top of the panel. As you type, only responses containing that term appear.

To browse by common words, expand the Keywords section inside the panel. It shows the most frequently used words in your responses along with their counts. Click any keyword to show only matching responses — you can select multiple at once.

Filter by audience or response attribute

The Search and filter panel also lets you filter by demographic traits and response flags:

  • Demographic traits — age, gender, income, education, and any other traits or questions included in your survey

  • Response flags — Bookmarked, Helpful, or Not Helpful responses

You can combine filters — for example, show Helpful responses from female respondents aged 25–34. To remove all filters, click Clear filters.

Share a filtered view

As you apply filters, the URL in your browser updates. Copy the entire URL — anyone you send it to will see your results page with the same filters applied.

This works especially well for sharing curated views with teammates: filter to Helpful responses, then share the URL so they see only the comments worth reading.

Frequently asked questions

Do my filters stay applied if I come back later?

Filters are stored in the URL, not in the survey itself. If you bookmark or copy the URL with filters applied, you'll return to the same filtered view. Opening the survey from a fresh link will show the unfiltered results.

Can I export filtered results?

Yes. Export options respect your current filters, so you can download just the segment you're interested in.
