once you've got custom twitter searches set up you'll also want to learn a few of twitter's search operators. these are weirdly poorly documented (the documentation i found has ones i don't think work anymore) but here are the ones i personally use to search tweets faster

1. custom twitter searches - "tw" searches all of twitter, "tq" searches my own tweets, "tvv" searches @visakanv's tweets, "tmo" searches @Malcolm_Ocean's tweets. this is a key part of my QT game b/c it minimizes the # of keypresses to find a tweet twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st

1. from:username searches tweets from a user, that's how the custom searches for my own tweets and visa's tweets above work. to:username searches tweets to that user. you can combine them to look for a specific interaction if you remember who was involved. example:

i use min_faves both to search a specific person's tweets (either i'm looking for a specific popular tweet or i just wanna see their popular tweets) and to search twitter globally for the most popular tweets about some meme or w/e. like this:

3. since:YYYY-MM-DD searches for tweets timestamped on that date or after, until:YYYY-MM-DD searches for tweets timestamped on that date or before. combining both lets you search a date range. example:
