Andrew Hyde: Twitter Search This

  • MarinaMartin · 6 months ago
    If you pick which language you want to search from the drop-down menu (English), the search results get significantly better for DIA/DEN.

    However, case-sensitive search would be great... for Twitter Search and for Google Alerts, while I'm making a wish list.

    I had a feeling like I was an idiot here. Still funny, and on a mobile or in an app this is a hard setting to find.

    Thanks, updating the post.

    In addition to the Language setting MarinaMartin noted, there's a Place setting in Advanced Search, so you can constrain results by location.

    This gets pretty good results: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+DIA+near%3A...

    Oh, you could constrain results by date, too, so you don't see who was tweeting about hanging around at the airport yesterday.

    Most of the messages displayed above are in Portuguese, not in Spanish.

    In my eyes this makes search MORE relevant (just not to your particular needs at the time).

    Had the exact same issue yesterday as I sat on the runway for half an hour after landing @ DIA.
