Looking for a tweet you sent out in 2012? Or are you just curious about what you said in the past and want to see exactly what you tweeted? Why can we just search Twitter like we normally do?
Well that's because you can no possibly check through the numerous tweets and mentions with you twitter handle and search query in them using the normal Twitter search box.
Actually, Twitter has a particular but relatively unknown feature known as Twitter Advanced Search that lets use search through your tweets or anyone's tweets specifying the date limit, the location, the word you are searching for.
HOW TO USE TWITTER ADVANCED SEARCH
- Go to www.twitter.com/search-advanced on your browser (not the Twitter app)
- To search a particular twitter handle's tweets or your own handle, fill the 'From these account' field with the handle e.g. @codedtee
- If you enabled location in your tweets, you can also specify where the tweet should be from.
- You can also specify the date bracket for the intended search e.g. 2012-11-30 to 2014-01-01. To do this, fill in the Dates field.
- You can ask it to
- contain an exact phrase
- contain 'Any of these words'
- contain 'None of these words'
- contain a hashtag
- only search for tweets in a particular language
- You can also specify finding only tweets that were replies to an account by filling the 'to these accounts' field or tweets mentioning someone by filling the 'Mentioning these accounts' field.
- After filling all parameters that you need, hit the Search button.
Below is a screenshot of my tweets between 2012-11-30 and 2014-01-01.
