Twitter updates search with autocorrect
Twitter’s search function has had a slight upgrade with a
number of new features that will help users find the information
they are looking for faster than before.
The upgrade that most people are talking about is the addition
of auto-complete search suggestions which appears below the search
box as you type (just like Google). The dropdown tries to predict
what you are searching for, as well as Twitter accounts that may
match what you are typing in the search box.
After the search is completed, Twitter has also added a new
filter to the tweet results. In addition to being able to see
“top” or “all” tweets, users can now see
tweets from “People you follow.”
This will be a very popular new filter that will help users
search for tweets from people they follow that are a few days
old.
Here are a few other upgrades that Twitter has done:
- Spelling corrections for misspelled terms
- Related suggestions
- Real names and usernames in search results – similar to
Facebook search
Twitter has said that the upgrades have been rolled out on
Twitter.com, while not all the features have been added to its
iPhone and Android apps.
