Twitter Makes It Easier to Search Tweets from Specific Accounts

Twitter added a new search button on profile pages that makes it easier to search tweets from specific users, The Verge reported on Friday.

Social media consultant Matt Navarra explained that the button had started appearing for a small number of users last month, but now XDA Developers revealed that the feature has rolled out widely in the service’s iOS app.

You can limit the search results by using the format “from:[Twitter handle] [search term]” in the regular Twitter search box. For example, if you wanted to search my (bad) tweets for every time I mentioned the word “keyboard,” you could tap the search icon in the app and enter.

Now, the new button makes life just a bit easier. For example, if you want to find an article you vaguely remember someone tweeting about months ago but can’t remember the specifics of, it can effectively help in this matter.

The new search button is a small example of the flurry of new features Twitter has been adding to its service in recent months.

Last week, the platform rolled out the ability for iOS users globally to Super Follow Twitter accounts, which means that they’re now able to pay for access to bonus content from creators on the platform.
