With Twitter, there is always an over load of information that its quite hard to keep up with the trend, if you’re not moving along with it. Take a break out of Twitter for one or two weeks and see what happens when you get back. There would be lot of information ahead of you and catching up with them is a big task.
But with Twitter search, things get fairly easy. Twitter search recently acquired “Summize” just for enhancing its search tool and the changes are already showing up.
Here are 10 such tips that will help you search the right information on Twitter beyond your timeline and around the world ! (Be sure to check the example links besides each to see how they work)
from:twitterusername
To search for tweets from a twitter user, use the above search term. Example
from:twitterusername filter:links
To search for only tweets with links from a twitter user, use the above search term. Example
download torrent filter:links
Let’s say you wanted to search for people tweeting downloadable links about a movie or some goodies, try the above search. Works all the time. Example
to:username
If you want to find out who all sent tweets to a a twitter user of your choice, try the above search term. Example
@username
This search will include all the mentions, including replies and RTs. Example
from:username1 to:username2
This search will show up all conversations between two users, without the RTs. Example
“event” near:”place”
This search term allows you to search for particular events/happenings or just about anything you want to know happening near a place. Excellent for finding tweetups and other events near your place. Example
near:place within:20km
This is an awesome search, that lets you search for twitter users from physical distance around a place. Twitter knows where you are located with your geo codes so things are easy this way. you can select any physical distance from the place according toy our needs (mi=miles, km=kilometres). Example
searchterm since:2009-08-01
This is useful if you are searching for things that are recent or within a timeline. Example, a movie review from the date of its release ? Example
searchterm until:2009-08-04
The reverse of the No.9, where you can search tweets upto a certain period of time. Example
Now, what’s interesting about these search terms are that they are inter-operable (most of them) which means that they can be mixed to get your desired results.

This is just what I was looking for. However, it doesn’t solve my problem: Twitter does not keep data older than x amount of days.
I am trying to find Tweets from June (#iranelection / #cnnfail), but there is no way to find those. Twitter doesn’t seem to have them on record!
