# Filters and controls
Refine social discussion analysis by source, term type, view, and time range.
Users can refine the analysis with controls such as:
* **Query Sources** — limit the sources included in the analysis
* **Term Type** — focus on all terms, one-word terms, multi-word phrases, or cashtags
* **Timeline / Topics toggle** — switch between time-based and topic-based views
* **Time range selectors** — focus on short-term or long-term narrative shifts
These controls make it easier to move between rapid catalyst detection and deeper narrative research.
