The most powerful feature that Twitter has:

Advanced search

Until recently I hadn't even heard of it, but now I use it all the time.

Here are 6 twitter advanced search features that will revolutionise the way you search for what to read: 🧵👇

Before we get started, you might be wondering why you need advanced search?

Your main feed just shows what's being posted NOW.

But there's absolute gold in the old tweets from experts you love + big accounts you follow.

Lots of learning just waiting there for us.

Here's how:

1. Find tweets from a particular person.

Want to see what @Liz_ORiordan's been tweeting about?

Just type in the search bar:

from:Liz_ORiordan

Want to see tweets to @LondonAllergy?

to:londonallergy

Combine these to see their interactions:

from:Liz_ORiordan to:londonallergy

2. Find tweets on a specific topic.

Keywords will keep your search results on topic.

Want to find what @kathevans2 has been saying about vaccinations?

from:kathevans2 vaccinations

But what if you want to exclude tweets about measles?

Just add - to the search term:

-measles

3. Find tweets that are popular.

You can set a minimum number of retweets, faves, or replies:

min_retweets: x
min_faves: x
min_replies: x

@OrthopodReg has been paving the way for culture change, but what if we want his most popular tweets?
