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
2. You can use to:username and -from:username together to search for what people have tweeted at someone
3. You can use filter:follows to search for something someone you follow once tweeted
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
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
6. I forgot about this! min_faves:number to filter most favorited tweets
