I searched tweets by advanced search but some accounts' tweets don't appear. Why?
Best Answer
There are multiple reasons why you may not see some tweets when searching. Some possible reasons include:
The user has a "protected" account
If someone sets their Twitter profile to be protected, only their followers can view their tweets.
You may only be viewing "Top" results
In the Twitter web app, by default a search will return the top results. Check the other categories (Latest, People, News, etc.) to see different -- and possibly more relevant -- results.
Alternatively, use a Twitter mobile app (iOS or Android) to have the option to view all results.
Low-quality results are hidden
Results that Twitter deems to be low quality may not be shown. To see these results, click the Show option next to "Search filters" and change Quality filter on to Quality filter off.
Remy Sharp wrote a website application that will search your, or someone else's tweets without the limitations Twitter imposes so you can search far further back in time. It's at http://snapbird.org/.
First you need to find the format of the tweet that the video site generates.
Then find the text that will be consistent across all the tweets - most likely the URL to the video. The only case where it might not be would be if the website tracked referrals and therefore had a unique URL for each user.
Assuming you can find this piece of unique text just search for that using the Twitter web site. You can use the search functionality even if you aren't signed in to Twitter.
