Extension summary

Storyful are happy to announce a re-launch of our Multisearch Chrome extension. We're constantly building new tools to empower our journalists to discover amazing content that newsrooms, brands and video producers can quickly turn to their advantage. One of these tools, which we're sharing with the world is our Multisearch extension.

It's a simple solution for a simple problem. Often a news story or trend breaks on one social platform and quickly spreads to others. The Multisearch extension helps you quickly query keywords across Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram and Spokeo, in the comfort of your own browser.

Simply click on the extension, enter in your search term and the extension will open up new tabs for each social network showing the the search results in each.

Please also note that this extension uses Heap Analytics for general usage statistics. Storyful only tracks how many searches are being performed and never what you are searching for.

I am directed to immediately give all my contact information so I can be contacted, but I can't even test the service. Yeah, no. Uninstalling. Waste of time

Awful! Enter your query, hit the search button, and all it does it to take you to the Home page of Storyful.com. Must be a bug, but in any case, disappointed.
