Check out this useful tool from a Censys user - you can use it to compare the results of a Legacy Search and Platform query to help you identify any differences in results between the two.

It’s super useful to make sure you’re using the correct syntax in the Platform’s new domain-specific language and finding the results you’d expect from your queries. It’s very handy to use in tandem with the built-in Platform query converter.

This is a nice tool. I wrote a command line tool a couple of months ago that has similar functionality. A nice addition would be to automatically use the v3 API endpoint to convert the query. I wrote a script to bulk insert all of the queries I have to convert into the sqlite DB (120+).
