Search for specific Tweets, accounts, or ongoing conversations

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.

Tweet Search Advanced

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).

When you’re signed in to your account on the web, using search is slightly different than using it via the Twitter for iOS or Android apps. You can find instructions for both below.

Tap the Explore tab
At the top of the page, enter your search into the search box and tap Search.
Your results will show a combination of Tweets, photos, accounts, and more.
Filter your results by tapping Top, Latest, People, Photos, Videos, News, or Broadcasts (located at the top of your search results).
Tap the filter icon in the search bar to refine your results according to All people or People you follow, and Everywhere or Near you.

Note: Safe search settings allow you to filter your search results to exclude potentially sensitive content and/or accounts you have muted or blocked from your results. You can adjust this setting by logging in to your account on twitter.com and using the Search from the web instructions. Your settings will apply to searches on the web, in your iOS app, and in Twitter for Android.
