Twitter Keyword Search

Find old tweets via search terms

This video is about the new Twitter Keyword Search. This allows old tweets to be retrieved by entering specific search terms. Find out how this works and what the Twitter Spaces update is all about here.

Twitter Keyword Search - Find old posts more easily

On Twitter, you can now search for keywords directly on a user profile. In addition, participation in Spaces is now also possible for users without a Twitter account. Have you ever read a good tweet on Twitter that you wanted to re-read but couldn’t find again? Twitter has now introduced a new feature for this very purpose, with the help of which you can now search specifically for tweets on a Twitter profile. For this purpose, a few keywords are already sufficient, which can usually still be remembered. You enter these keywords into the new On-Profile Search option and it will search for the tweet you want.

How to see if you are already unlocked

Social media expert Matt Navarre shared a screenshot of the new feature on Twitter. For some users, the search feature has been available for a while, but Twitter is rolling it out to everyone starting immediately. You can see if you are already activated for the feature by the small magnifying glass in the top right corner of your profile. If you click on it, a search field will open where you can type in keywords. If you now click on Search, the user’s profile will be searched for the selected keywords and all applicable tweets will be listed.

Twitter Keyword Search - Negative Consequences?

On Twitter, it was already possible to search for keywords in a user profile, but the new function makes it easier to search for specific tweets. For some users, this could also have negative consequences. Green Party politician Sarah-Lee Heinrich had to make this experience recently, when she was elected co-spokesperson at the federal congress of the Green Youth. Users searched their old tweets and spread screenshots of vulgar and offensive tweets. However, the screenshots were from 2014/2015 when she was just 13 years old. She herself described the screenshots as a wave of attacks and deeply regrets these tweets. The new feature can therefore also be used specifically to pick out old tweets from certain users with which you want to put them in a bad light. Whether the new feature will actually trigger many new shitstorms will be seen in the next few weeks.

More news on Twitter

Twitter also launched another feature. This was announced via the Twitter Spaces account. There they wrote: “Do you have friends who are not on Twitter? This is weird, but now you can share direct links to your Spaces and your friends can listen via web without being logged in.”
So users who host a Space Session can invite friends outside of Twitter through a link. For them, however, it is then not possible to speak, but they can only participate. Twitter leaves open whether these listeners are also included in the analytics. For active Twitter Spaces users who also have large communities on other platforms, the new feature is a handy addition.
