Exclude search results containing specific text? #908

Closed soundchippy closed 1 year ago

Is it possible, when using search, to exclude posts which include a specific word or phrase?

For example if I use the search function to look for tweets about various stock tickers, quite often the results will be flooded with bots advertising their stock trading discord servers. Selecting exclude links gets rid of these posts, but also removes some legitimately interesting content. Being able to filter posts that include "discord", for example, would be helpful in isolating useful content.

Here's an example search for reference...

You can add a dash in front of a word to exclude it, but in this case you need to use a url filter as well, like this: https://nitter.net/search?f=tweets&q=%24dna+-url%3Adiscord

@zedeus is it possible to search with wildcard? something like searchterm%found or searchterm*found?

and i would find tweets with seachtermS found and also searchterm found or searchterm and other found

maybe with only some characters between or also with whole words between?

No, I'm afraid Twitter doesn't support that.

Okay. Thank you for your quick reply :)
