How do you search multiple terms? #124

Open marcyshieh opened 6 years ago

marcyshieh commented 6 years ago

I was wondering how one could search multiple terms using the command-line tool. For example, I'd like to get tweets that mention either "european refugees" OR "computers", or even "european refugees" AND "france". How would I write this?

Twitter allows you to do search but actually it translate only in one simple query Here some example I wrote somewhere else to show how it works

Few examples that gives the same result: Exact Query : Honda cars Normal Query : "Honda cars"

Any Query : Honda Toyota Normal Query : Honda OR Toyota

Exact Query: Honda stadium + Exclude Query : car Normal Query : "Honda stadium" -car

hashtag Search : DitchtheDrama Normal Search : #DitchtheDrama

You can add AND, OR and maybe some other stuff

Thank you for the response! So the "Normal Query" parts of your examples are what I'd put in for the querysearch portion of this command?

python /Exporter.py --querysearch Honda OR Toyota --since 2016-01-01 --until 2016-12-31

@marcyshieh to search for two terms with an OR it is exactly as you have said
