Someone asked me to do a thread about how I use Twitter search. It all started here. 1. Use from:username to find something someone tweeted https://t.co/plLDrJV5UL
2. You can use to:username and -from:username together to search for what people have tweeted at someone https://t.co/gHH227FQLz
3. You can use filter:follows to search for something someone you follow once tweeted https://t.co/ZKXxajkp0K
4. Use since:yyyy-mm-dd until:yyyy-mm-dd to filter a search by date and look up old tweets. You can combine this with any of the other operators https://t.co/aaH3N4UB6B
5. If you copy out the string of numbers at the end of a tweet and search quoted_tweet_id:number, you get a list of quote tweets of that tweet https://t.co/UzX1jbcndO
6. I forgot about this! min_faves:number to filter most favorited tweets https://t.co/RTHV5NuMRt

@visakanv Sweet! I thought I had them all but quoted_tweet_id is new to me, thanks! https://t.co/OflmfqPaXd
@visakanv Thanks to your tip on quoted_tweet_id, i discovered quoted_user_id also works. Ever wanted a live feed of everyone quoting any of your tweets (excluding your own)? quoted_user_id:16884623 -from:visakanv https://t.co/lA2M6IEjM2
@visakanv You can get anyone's twitter user id with https://t.co/QCPTDA1usd or a twurl call to the API if you have that set up, eg: twurl "/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=visakanv" | jq '.id_str'
@visakanv Shameless plug: my collection, complete with references and an interesting example use-case https://t.co/oMaDVz98j0
The `filter:follows` operator mentioned in the earliest tweet in this thread is mentioned also in this Twitter search guide: https://t.co/ckgJiGJYsc Interestingly, I have trouble finding this `filter:follows` clause in any official Twitter docs.
