Want to find Stories about particular places or topics being shared on Snapchat? The company has announced a new search feature that it says will make this possible.
In a post today, Snapchat shared that the ability to keyword search for matching Stories — which are collections of Snaps over a 24 hour period — is coming to its app.
The feature is going live today in selected (but unnamed) cities and seem only to search through “Our Stories,” those that have been created by Snapchat based on user contributions. Individuals can also share there own Stories to the public, but the feature doesn’t appear to search for those — we’re double-checking on this.
Snapchat also says that along with the search feature, it’s also hoping to create many more stories related to places and events in part through the use of machine learning. Previously, creating stories like this depended on a human curation team, which Snapchat said was getting overwhelmed.
Here’s a video of how Snapchat says the new feature will work:
