Research
Explore creators
Explore creators in the Research sidebar finds people MORR has never seen. Type in the box and TikTok, Instagram and YouTube are all searched live, side by side, the way each platform’s own search bar answers. Each platform’s people appear under its mark the moment that platform answers, with their real profile picture, name, handle, followers and the first line of their bio. With the box empty, the page is the ranked table of everyone already on file.

Search the platforms
- 1Type who you are looking forA name (Jake Ball), a handle (@deskside.maya), a profile link, or a sentence (fitness creators in LA with 50k+ on TikTok). Every pause in typing asks again.Enter
- 2Watch each platform landUnder its own mark. TikTok usually answers in under twenty seconds; Instagram and YouTube take 20 to 60, and each says how long it has been. The last answer stays up, dimmed, while the next words are asked.

| You type | What happens |
|---|---|
| A name or a @handle | All three platforms are searched for it. The account whose handle is exactly what you typed comes first, then handles that start with it, then everyone else by followers |
| A profile link | That platform is asked for that one account, about ten seconds |
| A sentence | AI reads it into the filters below, which turn green, and the platforms are searched for the words that are left. A line under the box says what it was read as, with Search the words as typed to undo it. One AI credit; the web only for now |
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Platforms | Which platforms a search asks. All three unless you narrow it; fewer platforms spend fewer results |
| Followers / Up to | Keep accounts with at least, or at most, this many followers. Use Up to to find smaller creators |
| Verified | Keep verified accounts only |
Each platform asked costs one research result, and words anyone searched in the last week answer at once and cost nothing. A platform that fails says why and offers Try again while the others stay. Everyone a search finds joins MORR’s shared creator index, and their numbers are read over the following nights. Anybody already in MORR by those words shows first in a small Already in MORR line; the live answers are always the platforms’ own. Profile pictures are copied into MORR’s own storage the first time an account is seen, because the platforms’ own links expire within hours. Under the results, the platform buttons find who posts about the words rather than who is called them.
Everyone on file
With the box empty, the table ranks every account MORR has read: the creators you study, the strangers a niche search turned up, the pages behind the ads you pulled, and the shared directory MORR reads on its own, a hundred accounts a night. It is counted from rows already here, so it costs nothing.
| Column | What it says |
|---|---|
| Creator | Avatar, name and handle, with the platform’s mark. studied marks one you pulled as a creator; the badge opens their pull |
| Followers | The latest count on file for the account |
| On file | How many of their posts are here, across every pull |
| Typical | The median views of those posts: what a normal post of theirs does |
| Best post | Their top post by views and how many times their median it is. Click the figure to open the post |
| Hit rate | The share of their posts at twice their own median, once three have views. A quarter or more is green |
| Ads | How many Meta ads are running from their page right now, and how many were pulled, when their ads have been pulled |
| Last post | When they last posted, of what is on file |
A row opens the person as the profile MORR builds from their rows: the shape of their account, their best posts, where they send people. Platform and Sort beside On file narrow the table to one platform and order it by any column. The menus and the filters remember how you left them, on this browser.
