Searching in Twitter

I’ve lost count of the number of times when I have read a tweet, and later wanted to refer back to it but struggled to find it. So, mainly for own benefit, I am adding some notes here on how to search Twitter.

The best starting place is usually https://twitter.com/search-advanced

But you can also search directly in the main Twitter app using syntax like this

“good read” (from:shaunabram)

to return all tweets (from me, in this case) with the exact phrase, “good read”

or

good read (from:shaunabram)

to return all tweets from me with either the words “good” or “read” in them.
