Twitter – How to Exclude Usernames and Handles While Searching

twittertwitter-search

While searching twitter for rather generic terms, returned search results include bio-names and handles of users. How to filter those fields from search results?

For example: Searching latest tweets containing word 'Squawk' mostly returns usernames+handles containing the word 'Squawk' or mentioning/replying to such usernames+handles.

Try this:

Squawk OR @8373736

“@8373736” is just a random user account that actually doesn’t exist. @i32w4iewrewi, @ffASD53245f, whatever.

I don’t know why, but so far, this somehow works.

I think this is a glitch so please note that this can be unavailable in the future.
