Monitoring Exact Terms in Subreddits for Keywords like AI | Clay

Monitoring Exact Terms in Subreddits for Keywords like AI

·Nov 21, 2025 11:30 PM·

Is there a way to use exact terms for data sources that use keywords? Example: if we wanted to monitor mentions of "AI" in a subreddit without pulling in "maill" "main" etc.

Yes! For keyword-based data sources, you can use exact match by putting your term in quotes.
For example, if you put "AI" in quotes, it will do an exact match and won't return results like "mail" or "main". [1]
This exact keyword matching feature is available in our Find People search as well—you can toggle "Exact Keyword Match" when you want to search for a specific term without variations. [2]
For Reddit specifically, when setting up your keyword search in the Find Mentions integration, apply this same quoting technique to ensure you're only capturing exact matches of your target term.
