 "note": "The first 20 accounts TikTok search returned for \"home decor\" and for \"dog grooming\" on 30 September 2026. Profile-level signals only. Handles are replaced with 'home decor result N' / 'dog grooming result N' because these accounts are used only for distributions; the two accounts we looked at closely are 'Account A' and 'Account B'. The one named account is shown as a healthy example. Nicknames, bios, ids and avatars removed. search_users reports the verified flag as true for every result in this pull, so we did not use it.",
