Hey twitter-searchers / meta-threaders
( @visakanv @conaw @QiaochuYuan)
One cool new thing I& #39;ve been playing with recently is when I& #39;m threading & want something to QT on a topic, searching for tweets from "people I follow". https://twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1235325703601745923">https://twitter.com/Malcolm_O...

This workflow is very different from searching for some specific tweet I remember seeing/writing.
It& #39;s led to some fun serendipity, where I discover in the course of articulating something that one of my friends had a related thought awhile ago!

Like eg this 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> which I vaguely recall seeing but I shrugged at it the time because I hadn& #39;t deeply appreciated Carse then. https://twitter.com/callumflack/status/1200801403683262465">https://twitter.com/callumfla...
So this kind of process naturally resurfaces things at exactly the sort of moment I& #39;m ready to really appreciate them!
This tweethttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> I recalled just now from yesterday, & found using `twf not ready` (which the reply says) https://twitter.com/OshanJarow/status/1234930957284728832">https://twitter.com/OshanJaro...

As indicated in QT above, I have a custom quicksearch for "search tweets from people I& #39;m following" so I can do it as one thought.
To create, go to chrome://settings/searchEngines or whereever and use this url:
twitter .com/search?q=%s&pf=on
(space inserted to avoid linkify)

In a sane #TwitterReplacement, first of all this sort of resurfacing would happen naturally while composing, without needing to manually trigger.
Various ways to do this; even non-clever ones are awesome, though I& #39;m sure clever algos could make it better (or awful)

Secondly, there would be more categories than "tweets ever from people I& #39;m now following". I would love:
- tweets I& #39;ve liked
- tweets I& #39;ve retweeted
- tweets I& #39;ve ever seen ever
- tweets I& #39;ve replied to
(& for each, an option to sort by eg like-time, not just tweet-time)

@nosilverv & @krrishd are working on some stuff in this space. Not that much to see yet but it& #39;s early stages and I& #39;m still excited that things are happening https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes"> https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1235154280941793282">https://twitter.com/nosilverv...
@Morphenius you were asking about how I search twitter. This thread contains some of my tips.
There& #39;s also some advanced queries like:
to:username
from:username
since:yyyy-mm-dd
until:yyyy-mm-dd
