# How to Use Web Search

Every domain you look up in Silent Push comes with complete historical web search data — page titles, server banners, detected technologies, favicons, certificates, HTTP headers, and more — going back years. And every blue value is a one-click pivot across the entire global Web Search database.

This video demonstrates how to perform **domain pivoting** and **advanced filtering** using HTML titles within the Silent Push Reconnaissance module. This technique is especially valuable for identifying unauthorized variations of company branding, detecting phishing sites, and conducting targeted threat hunting.

### **Key Learning Points**

- **Pivoting from Total View:** Enter a domain on the landing page, select **Total View**, then navigate to the Web Search tab.
- **Accessing Web Scan Data:** View complete scan history, including dates and all captured **HTML titles** for the domain.
- **Executing a Pivot Query:** Click any hyperlinked HTML title → select **“Web Search Equals”** from the pivot menu to launch a precise query in Context Graph Search.
- **Broadening Searches:** Use the **“Contains”** operator instead of exact match to find any scan containing a specific keyword (e.g., “silent push”).
- **Reducing Noise:** Apply **“Web Search Not Equals”** on unwanted URLs or origins to automatically exclude false positives and refine results.
- **Direct Search:** From the landing page, enter a keyword and choose **“HTML Title Pivot”** — the platform automatically populates Context Graph Search with the **“Contains”** operator.

### Real-World Example Workflows

**Who else is using this exact phishing kit template?**

- Open **Total View > Web Search > Expand the latest scan,** then click the blue favicon hash to see 200+ identical phishing pages instantly.

**Did the actor rotate certificates to evade blocking?**

- Look at the certificate history, click on an old cert serial to reveal every other domain that used it before the switch.

**Is this part of a bigger campaign using the same server setup?**

- Click the blue server banner or specific tech (e.g., “nginx/1.18.0”) to expose hundreds of related malicious hosts.

### Tips

- Always expand multiple scan dates — actors frequently swap pages overnight.
- Favicon hash is usually the single most powerful pivot in Web Search.
- Combine with the PADNS tab to see which IPs served the same favicon over time.
- Combine with the Certificates tab for even deeper cert-based pivots.
