Info

When you create a new topic in the main Twitter module, the Search dialog opens automatically to make creating your first search for that topic convenient.

Info
  • You can specify up to ten (10) parameters combined. For example, 10 accounts, 10 hashtags, 5 accounts + 5 hashtags, or 1 hashtag + 4 accounts + 5 none-of-these-words, and so on.
  • Within a single search, the more search parameters you specify, the more narrow a search and the fewer Tweets are returned; search parameters are combined as “AND” results.
  • Valid searches will only return Tweets that are less than 7 days old.

Location Near

Users who enable Tweet location for their account may include location information in their Tweets.
To search for Tweets that originated from a specific location or area, enter a location in the field.
For example, during a sports event at a specific stadium, perhaps you only want Tweets from the fans in the stadium during the game.


The location can be as broad or specific as you want. You can also define the location area as a radius of any given point in miles or kilometers. For example, if you want to specify an entire state or province as the location, specify an address near the center of the state or province and estimate the number of miles or kilometers to the border.  

Language

Any Tweet written in a specific language or select "Any Language" to not filter by language.

IncludeAny Tweet that contains the following:
  • retweeted content
  • reply content from another Tweet
  • only Tweets that include a happy face :)
  • only Tweets that include a sad face :(
  • only Tweets that include a ? question mark
  • tweets with links

At least one of these options must also be selected:

  • Tweets with text only
  • Tweets with images
  • Tweets with video
Max Tweets to Queue

Specifies the maximum number of Tweets that the search parameters return that are added to the pool of possible Tweets for broadcast.

By default, this value is 25, so this means that this particular search can return up to 25 Tweets, and these 25 Tweets contribute to the pool of available Tweets.
