SearchAdvanced twitter search

There are many ways to use search on Twitter. You can find Tweets from yourself, friends, local businesses, and everyone from well-known entertainers to global political leaders. By searching for topic keywords or hashtags, you can follow ongoing conversations about breaking news or personal interests.

We give you control over what you see in your search results through safe search mode. These filters exclude potentially sensitive content, along with accounts you have muted or blocked, from your search results. You have the option to turn it off, or back on, at any time (instructions outlined below).
