Mission impossible: Finding one person of hundreds of millions of accounts. Good thing Twitter account search tools make this easy.
Whether you’re trying to:
- track down a business contact,
- find your ideal customers,
- ideal followers to engage with,
- people to reach out or launch an ad campaign to, or
- discover new accounts that match your interests…
Twitter’s native search options might leave you wanting more.
But don’t worry—there’s a better way to navigate X’s vast user base and find exactly who or what you’re looking for.
The Limitations of Twitter’s Native Tools
While Twitter’s native search functions are helpful, they have their limitations. For example, if you’re searching for a person with a common name or trying to find accounts based on specific keywords or follower demographics, you might end up sifting through a lot of irrelevant results. This is where more advanced tools come into play.
How to use Twitter Account Search that comes with X app
Twitter’s built-in search is a good place to start if you know the username or name of the account you’re looking for. Maybe you know what they post about and can filter your search using the X advanced search options.
Simply type the name or keyword into the search bar, and you’ll get a list of related profiles and tweets. For more refined searches, Twitter offers an advanced search option where you can filter results by location, date, and other parameters which are explained in the link above.
The problem: if you’re trying to find someone without their exact username or looking for accounts that fit specific criteria, these tools can fall short.
Twitter Account Search to Find Someone Without Their Username
Try searching their full name in quotes (e.g., “John Applesauce”). This approach helps narrow down results to accounts that have that name in their display name or bio.
But what if the name is common, or you’re looking for someone based on interests or keywords they use in their tweets?
How to search tweets from a user on X
You can search posts from someone using advanced Twitter search mobile or desktop commands in the search bar, like “from:@username” to see all the posts from that account.
But, what if you don’t know the person’s username if they don’t use their real name?
Twitter Account Search from Contacts in your phone
Twitter allows you to find all the people in your phone’s contacts list and add them to X by sharing that access with their app.
Select “Settings and privacy” by tapping the Gear icon or (…) icon, > “Privacy and safety” > “Discoverability and contacts” to enable this feature. You can let others find you be your email or phone number, but you can’t find them with these unless they share it.
It’s a handy way to connect with friends who are already on Twitter, but what if you’re looking for someone beyond your immediate circle?
Twitter Account Search from People in a Conversation
Hashtags are a great way to discover accounts tweeting about topics that interest you. Here’s how:
Let’s say you want to make an ad campaign that only targets people interested in a certain thing.
