🔍 Advanced Search on Twitter

These operators work on Web, Mobile, Tweetdeck.

There is some overlap, but largely these will not work for v1.1 Search, Premium Search, or v2 Search APIs.

Adapted from TweetDeck Help, @lucahammer Guide, @eevee Twitter Manual, @pushshift and Twitter / Tweetdeck itself. Contributions / tests, examples welcome!

Class	Operator	Finds Tweets…	Eg:
Tweet content	`nasa esa` <br> `(nasa esa)`	Containing both "`nasa`" and "`esa`". Spaces are implicit AND. Brackets can be used to group individual words if using other operators.	🔗
	`nasa OR esa`	Either "`nasa`" or "`esa`". OR must be in uppercase.	🔗
	`"state of the art"`	The complete phrase "`state of the art`". Will also match "`state-of-the-art`". Also use quotes to prevent spelling correction.	🔗
	`"this is the * time this week"`	A complete phrase with a wildcard. `*` does not work outside of a quoted phrase or without spaces.	🔗
	`+radiooooo`	Force a term to be included as-is. Useful to prevent spelling correction.	🔗
	`-love` <br> `-"live laugh love"`	`-` is used for excluding "`love`". Also applies to quoted phrases and other operators.	🔗
	`#tgif`	A hashtag	🔗
	`$TWTR`	A cashtag, like hashtags but for stock symbols	🔗
	`What ?`	Question marks are matched	🔗
	`:) OR :(`	Some emoticons are matched, positive `:) :-) :P :D` or negative `:-( :(`	🔗
	👀	Emoji searches are also matched. Usually needs another operator to work.	🔗
	`url:google.com`	urls are tokenized and matched, works very well for subdomains and domains, not so well for long urls, depends on url. Youtube ids work well. Works for both shortened and canonical urls, eg: `gu.com` shortener for `theguardian.com`. When searching for Domains with hyphens in it, you have to replace the hyphen by an underscore (like `url:t_mobile.com`) but underscores `_` are also tokenized out, and may not match	🔗

List slug is for old list urls like `twitter.com/esa/lists/astronauts`. Cannot be negated, so you can't search for "not on list".	🔗
	`filter:verified`	From verified users	🔗
	`filter:blue_verified`	From "verified" users that paid $8 for Twitter Blue	🔗
	`filter:follows`	Only from accounts you follow. Cannot be negated.	🔗
