How to use the Twitter advanced search builder
X advanced search helps you narrow a broad topic to particular words, people and dates. This tool turns those choices into the text you would otherwise type in X’s search bar. Every field is optional, so start with the smallest search that answers your question.
Choose what to find
Enter a topic or a handle. Use All words for combined terms, Any words for alternatives, or an exact phrase for wording you remember.
Narrow the results
Add dates, minimum likes or a content filter. Keep the search broad enough to find new posts, especially when looking for questions to answer.
Open or copy your query
Choose Latest or Top, then search on X. Copy the query for the X app or Fireply’s keyword field. X sign-in is required to view results.
Twitter search examples: dates, accounts and conversations
Use these as starting points. Replace the example accounts, topics and dates with your own. Searching an account does not require knowing its numeric user ID.
Search someone’s tweets for a word
Combine an author with the words you remember. Change NASA to the account’s handle and moon to your topic.
from:NASA moonTry this search on X Find people asking for recommendations
Look for requests in your niche. Leave minimum likes empty so new questions still have a chance to appear.
("can anyone recommend" OR "looking for") designer lang:en -filter:repliesTry this search on X Find popular posts on a topic
Use an exact phrase and a minimum number of likes. Add a date range when you want recent examples rather than older hits.

The builder handles these combinations for you. Use Write a query when you want to paste an existing search or construct your own groups. These are X website search operators; the API has a different query language.
| Operator | What it does |
|---|---|
word1 word2 | Both words, anywhere in the post. Spaces mean AND. |
"exact phrase" | Keep words together in this order. |
(word1 OR word2) word3 | Either alternative, plus word3. OR is uppercase; parentheses keep alternatives grouped. |
-word -"exact phrase" | Exclude a word or phrase. |
#hashtag $ticker | Search hashtags or cashtags. |
from:username to:username @username | Posts by an account, replies to it, or posts mentioning it. |
-from:username -#tag -$ticker | Exclude an author, hashtag or cashtag. |
lang:en -lang:es | Include or exclude a language. Language detection is not always exact. |
since:YYYY-MM-DD until:YYYY-MM-DD | On or after the first date; before the second. The until date is excluded. |
min_faves:100 min_retweets:10 min_replies:5 | Minimum likes, reposts and replies in website search; these are not X API operators. |
filter:images filter:videos filter:media | Narrow to images, videos, or media. Combining filters adds conditions. |
filter:links -filter:links url:domain.com | Require links, exclude them, or search for text in linked URLs. |
filter:replies filter:quote filter:self_threads | Find reply posts, quote posts or self-replies in threads. |
filter:verified filter:blue_verified filter:follows | Account-based filters. Following depends on the X account running the search. |
list:ID conversation_id:ID | Search list members or a conversation using its numeric ID. |
since_time:UNIX until_time:UNIX within_time:2d | Timestamp or rolling-time filters. These advanced operators are less documented; fixed dates are a useful fallback. |
The minus sign excludes many terms and filters, but not every operator supports it: this builder does not offer a negative list or follows filter. Legacy repost filters are not an exact substitute for “include all reposts.” For the complete reference, including location, source, card types and known limitations, read the Fireply search operator guide.
Advanced Twitter search on mobile
Open this page on your phone and use the same fields as on desktop. A compact query preview keeps the search and copy actions within reach as you edit. Tap Search on X when ready, or copy the query into the app. No browser extension is needed.
If you are finding an old tweet, combine an account with a date range before adding more filters. “Before” is deliberately exclusive, matching X’s until: operator. For example, a one-day search uses that day as the start and the next day as the end.

Twitter advanced search questions
Is this Twitter advanced search tool free?
Yes. Building queries, copying links and saving up to ten searches in this browser are free. You do not need a Fireply account. The tool creates a search query; X provides the results.
Can I use Twitter advanced search without logging in?
You can use this builder without logging in. To view search results, you need to sign in to X. This tool does not bypass X’s login or show protected posts.
How do I search Twitter by date?
Enter a start date in On or after and an end date in Before. The end date is excluded: to search all of June, use June 1 and July 1. Add an account or keyword to make the search more specific.
How do I find old tweets from my account?
Put your handle in From these accounts and select a date range. Add a word or exact phrase you remember. Search results can be incomplete; for a personal record, request your X account archive instead.
Does Twitter advanced search work on mobile?
This builder works in a mobile browser. Set your filters and tap Search on X, or copy the query into the X app’s search box. Whether the link opens the app or website depends on your device settings.
What is the difference between All words and Any words?
All words requires every word to match: startup marketing means startup AND marketing. Any words uses uppercase OR inside parentheses. For words that must stay together, use the exact-phrase field.
Can I sort tweets by likes?
You can set a minimum number of likes with min_faves:. That filters the results; it does not sort them by like count. Top is X’s ranked view, while Latest is its recent-results view. Neither is a guaranteed complete archive.
Why is Twitter advanced search not working?
Start with just a word or an account. Remove engagement thresholds, conflicting filters and legacy operators, then add conditions back one at a time. Check that the end date is later than the start. X’s indexing, privacy rules and search settings also affect which posts appear.
Can I use this query in Fireply?
Copy the generated query into Fireply’s keyword field. That field accepts 3–450 characters, using Latin letters, numbers and basic search punctuation. Queries outside those limits can still be opened on X. Check the results first: they can change with the account, time and X’s search behavior.
Get more from your searches
When a query finds useful posts, save it and check the actual conversations before narrowing it further. A high like count signals popularity, but it does not tell you whether your reply would be relevant.
