# Can Grok tell original X posts apart from reposts in search results?

When I ask Grok to find reactions to an announcement on X, the results can include original posts alongside reposts or quote posts. Is there a reliable way to ask it to focus on original posts, or does it treat all of those as equivalent search results?

This matters when I’m trying to gauge how many people independently raised a point, rather than how widely one post was reshared. If you’ve tested this, I’d be interested in what wording or search approach worked for you.
