How to Build an X Monitoring Board Without Paid Tools
Pick the questions, write one search per column, and set a routine you'll actually keep.
Twitter power search, rebuilt for X
Lay out the searches you want to keep an eye on, side by side like a TweetDeck board. Give each column a label, a colour and a query, then open one column or the whole board on X. Nothing to install, no login, no API.

This board has no columns yet.
Add one, or load a starter board below.
Columns open as normal searches on x.com in new tabs. X only shows search results to signed-in users. Power Search is not affiliated with X Corp.
Type your own term and load the board. It replaces the columns above, so export first if you want to keep them.
A board is a list of searches you check together. Each column is one question you want X to answer: who is asking about us, what broke, what are people sharing. Keeping them separate is what makes a board faster to read than one big search.
The planner writes each column as an x.com/search link. Latest columns add f=live so results are sorted by time, media columns add f=media, and Top columns leave the tab off. The query itself is yours to edit, operators and all.
or and unbalanced brackets or quotes.Over 150 topics, each with four or five columns already written. Open them on X as they are, or load one into the planner.
Pick the questions, write one search per column, and set a routine you'll actually keep.
Catch untagged mentions, sort complaints from questions, and reply without making things worse.
A board for the first hours of a story, and the checks to run before you repeat anything.
The operators we use in board columns, and which ones X treats inconsistently.
No. The planner never fetches anything from X. It builds the search for each column and opens it on x.com in a new tab, where X shows the results. You need to be signed in to X to see search results.
In your browser's local storage on this device, and nowhere else. If storage is blocked or you clear site data, the board is gone, so export it as JSON or copy a share link if you want a backup.
Most browsers block a page from opening more than one tab per click. If that happens, the planner lists every column's link so you can open the rest one by one, or you can allow pop-ups for this site in your browser settings.
Not really. X Pro shows live columns inside X and, as of 2026, needs a Premium+ subscription. Power Search plans the same kind of board for free, but each column opens as a normal X search tab. Many people use it to design and test the queries before adding them as columns in X Pro or as saved searches.
The whole board, encoded in the part of the address after the # sign. That part is never sent to our server, so the link works without an account and we never see your columns. Anyone with the link can load a copy of the board.
