Use Advanced Ad Search, above the table in Meta Ads and Google Ads. Click the title to open the panel:

  • Ad date: Any date, Created in the period or Last edited in the period, with From and To.
  • Search in: All data, Text / copy, Name, URL (destination link, with or without https) or ID.
  • Ad status: All ads or Only active ads.
  • Contains text: what you want to find.

Click Search: the results open in the Ads tab. Clear resets the search. Dates follow the account's time zone, the search respects the accounts and groups already selected, and the metrics period of the table doesn't change.

On Google, the date covers the last 30 days plus the history Ads Editor has already stored; older dates may not be available.

The same search works in AI Copilot and MCP, for Meta and Google: for example, "list active ads with the words free shipping in the copy" or "find ads created yesterday with the link loja.com/promo".
