twitter search string

Tuesday, June 4. 2013

I realize this is no super killer discovery, but it's a big enough deal to me, so I'd like to record it. So here it is.

Searching on Twitter takes the following search syntax:

https://twitter.com/search?q=@[some-search-string]+OR+#[some-search-string]

In Firefox, it escapes the hash to a %23 (without the two underbars).

There. Now I know.
