# Query Your Content

You can build powerful queries to search, explore, and identify value in your content:

- **My Shows** and **My Episodes** filters relevant shows or episodes that match your specified criteria. You can sort the results by criteria like the episode's publication date or the show's title.
- **My Collections (Tags)** constantly updates your saved queries with your latest relevant content that your buyers and advertisers can use for targeting. See [Collections and Targeting](/user/docs/audio-insights-create-a-targeting-tag).

## Filters

You can create complex queries with a range of criteria that you specify with filters. These queries use a combination of filters with logical AND and OR operators to narrow your results. Example: You can create a query that identifies all episodes with a **High** brand suitability rating that also mentions the name of your advertiser.

> [!NOTE]
> Filter sentiment for episodes published before May 15, 2026
> 
> Sounder does not assign sentiment labels to episodes published before May 15, 2026. To include these episodes in your **IAB Category** filter, choose **Any** for the **Sentiment is** filter.

## Create a Query

To build a query, start by choosing the filter logic in **Include audio where**. Multiple filters interact with the logic selected at the top of the query builder:

- **All**: Narrow your search by linking filters with the **AND** operator.
- **Any**: Expand your search by linking filters with the **OR** operator.

Next, select **+Add Filter** and choose a filter from the filter selector.

### Create Groups of Filters

1. Select **+** to create a filter group from the existing filter. The new filter group uses its own logic.
2. Select **+Add Filter** to add another filter using the top-level filter logic, in this case it is **All**.

## Example

You might want to search for content that either is classified as IAB content category “Food and Drink” or (**Any**) includes all three of the following transcript search terms “Beer,” “Wine,” “Spirits.”

1. This query filter uses **All** (AND logic) between each filter group.
2. This filter group uses **Any** (OR logic) between each item within the group. In other words, either the named IAB category or any of the transcript search terms.
3. Select **+Add Filter** in the group to add another filter using the group logic. In this example, it is **Any**.
4. Select **+Add Filter** outside the group to add another filter using the top-level query filter logic. In this case, it is **All**.
