#TwitterTricks #Thread

Let's talk Tips and Tricks for using Twitter more efficiently. Many of us use the platform for more than merely a social media presence. I will keep this thread alive with the Twitter Tricks that I came across over the years. Contribute, if you can. 🙂

If you want to remove the RTs from the search, simply add "-RT" without quotes. For example, "Uttar Pradesh Elections -RT" will show the tweets containing the phrase "Uttar Pradesh Elections" but will not show if someone has RTed a tweet that contains the same phrase.

If you want to search Tweets from a person with a specific keyword/keyphrase use "from:idoftheperson keyword". For example, if you want to see tweets by me where I mentioned Modi ji, "from:lekhakanurag Modi" without quotes will do the trick. Adding -RT will remove the RTs I did.

And if you want to search only for specific time frame, add "until:enddate since:startdate" in the search code.
Example "from:lekhakanurag modi until:2022-01-17 since:2021-12-17 -RT"

If you want to search anything only from verified accounts, use "filter:verified" in the search code. For example, if you want to see what verified accounts have said about budget between Feb 1 and Feb 7 this year, use "budget filter:verified until:2022-02-07 since:2022-02-01"

If you want to search tweets with media, use:
filter:media - will show with both images and videos
filter:videos - will only show tweets with videos
filter:images - will only show tweets with images

Examples:
"Modi filter:media"
"Modi filter:images"
"Modi filter:videos"

You can combine search options too. For example if I want to see videos by a user with specific keywords between specific time frame I can use "from:lekhakanurag gauprem filter:videos since:2021-01-01 until:2022-02-01"
Throw in -RT and it will show tweets not RTs.

Now, this is going to be a very interesting one. If you want to search tweets in a specific language, there is an option.
For example, if you want to search tweets with Yogi only in Hindi, search "Yogi lang:hi". Please note you have to use Twitter language codes mentioned below.

If you want to search tweets from a specific handle to another handle, use "from:idoftheperson to:ifofthesecondperson" For example, if you want to see tweets from Yogi Ji to Modi Ji, use "from:myogiadityanath to:narendramodi"
