Searchlight magazine describes itself as an "international anti-Fascist magazine", and publishes material critical of far-right political parties worldwide. It is edited by Gerry Gable, a former member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and the "62 Group" and adopts a very left-wing stance on most issues.

Searchlight has consistently published exposés of the National Front and the British National Party and their members, which have been heavily criticised by some who claim such articles were attempts to encourage physical attacks on the individuals concerned.

Searchlight has also written about organizations such as Combat 18 and the neo-nazi music scene.
