Signal Searches are the searches you run in Lurk to find market context, catalysts, relevant sources, and useful signals around a prediction-market topic. This page explains how to run, review, refresh, and delete Signal Searches.
To run a new Signal Search:
  1. Open Signal Search.
  2. Enter the market, event, topic, or trade idea you want to research.
  3. Submit the search.
  4. Review the generated answer and any available sources.
A good Signal Search should be specific enough to give Lurk direction, but not so narrow that there is nothing useful to find. Good examples: 
Fed rate cut odds June

Trump election market movement

CPI inflation expectations Kalshi

Ethereum ETF approval prediction market impact
If your result is too broad, add more detail. You can add:
  • the market name
  • the event
  • the person or team involved
  • the date or timeframe
  • the platform or venue
  • the catalyst you care about\
Example: 
election odds
Better: 
Trump 2024 election odds movement after debate
If your result is too narrow, simplify the query and search the main event first. Example: 
Will the exact Polymarket Trump margin market move after one specific county report?
Better: 
Trump election odds county reporting impact

​
Viewing Previous Signal Searches

Your previous Signal Searches may appear in your search history. Use previous searches to:
  • revisit research
  • compare older and newer results
  • continue investigating a topic
  • review prior sources
  • avoid repeating the same search unnecessarily
If an old result looks outdated, run a fresh search.
You can re-run a Signal Search when you want updated information. This is useful when:
  • the market has moved
  • new news may have dropped
  • a catalyst is approaching
  • the previous result seems stale
  • you want to check whether the signal has changed\
Re-running a search may count toward your usage depending on your plan.
If you no longer need a Signal Search, you can delete it from your search history or result view. To delete a Signal Search:
  1. Find the search you want to remove.
  2. Select the delete option.
  3. Confirm the deletion if prompted.\
Once deleted, the Signal Search should no longer appear in your account. If a deleted search still appears after refreshing, contact support and include:
  • the search/query
  • where it still appears
  • whether it happens on desktop, mobile, or both
  • screenshots if available\

Common Signal Search Issues

​
“My Signal Search returned no useful results.”

Try adjusting the query. If it was too broad, add more context. If it was too specific, simplify it and search the core event first.

​
“My Signal Search result looks outdated.”

Run the search again. Signal Search results are based on the information available at the time the search is performed.

​
“My Signal Search answer is too long.”

Try using a more focused query. Instead of asking for everything around a topic, search for the exact market, catalyst, or question you care about.

​
“My Signal Search has too many or too few sources.”

Signal Search uses available sources based on the query and current system limits. If the result does not give enough source support, try rewording the query around the underlying event instead of the market title alone.

​
“A deleted Signal Search still shows up.”

Refresh the page. If it still appears, report it to support with the query and the view where it is still visible.

Best Practices

Use Signal Search when you need fast context before spending more time on a market. Best use cases:
  • checking why a market moved
  • researching a trade idea
  • looking for catalysts
  • finding relevant source context
  • reviewing event-specific information
  • comparing market assumptions
  • checking whether a signal is worth deeper attention
Signal Search is a research tool. It helps you move faster, but it does not guarantee that a market is mispriced or that a trade is correct.
