This wikiHow will teach you how to search for videos on Tiktok on the mobile app only since the search feature is not available on the web.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Tiktok. This app icon looks like a black, red, and green music note that you'll find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
  2. 2
  3. 3
    Tap the search bar. It's at the top of your screen.
  4. 4
    Type your search. Before you press "Enter" or "Search" on your keyboard, you'll see a list of recommended search results appear in a drop-down below the search box. You can tap one of these to see that search, or you can press "Enter" or "Search" on your phone's keyboard to see all your search results.
    • Your search results will be sorted between "Top," "Users," "Videos", "Sounds", and "Hashtags."
