X advanced search builder
Twitter advanced search without memorizing operators
X search understands operators such as from:, since:, min_faves: and filter:links, but you have to type them exactly, and X's own Advanced search form only opens from the search results page on desktop web. This builder gives you every common filter as a plain field, writes the query as you type and opens it on X in a new tab.
Pick a recipe to start, such as people asking for tool recommendations or viral posts on a topic, then change the words and accounts to fit your niche. Choose Top for the most engaged posts or Latest for the newest. Copy the finished query to reuse it on mobile, in X Pro or in your notes.
Everything runs in your browser. The builder doesn't call X or any other service, and nothing you type is sent anywhere until you choose to open the search on X.

How it works
How to use Twitter advanced search
Start broad, then add one filter at a time. Stacking every filter at once is the most common reason a search returns nothing.
Add words and accounts
Use exact phrases to cut noise, any-of words for different wording, and from:, to: or @ to target accounts.
Narrow with filters
Set minimum likes or replies, a date range, a language, links or media, and whether to drop replies or reposts.
Open it on X or copy it
Choose Top or Latest and open the search in a new tab, or copy the query to paste into any X search box.
Operator cheat sheet
The X search operators this builder writes
Each field maps to one operator. You can type these straight into X search too.
"exact phrase" and OR
Quotes match a phrase word for word. OR returns posts with either term, for example founder OR creator.
-word and #hashtag
A minus sign removes posts containing a word, such as -giveaway. #buildinpublic finds a hashtag.
from:, to: and @
from:levelsio finds posts by an account, to:stripe finds replies sent to it and @openai finds posts that mention it.
min_faves:, min_replies:, min_retweets:
Minimum likes, replies and reposts, such as min_faves:500, to surface posts that already got traction.
since: and until:
Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. since:2026-01-01 starts on that day and until: returns posts before the day you set.
lang: and filter:
lang:en limits the language. filter:links, filter:media, filter:images and filter:videos keep only those posts, and -filter:replies drops replies.
Use cases
What people use advanced search for
Searches that pay off for creators, founders and marketers.

Responsible use
Results come from X
This tool only writes the query. X decides what the search returns, and operator support can differ between desktop web, the mobile apps and X Pro, so test important searches on desktop web first. Posts from protected accounts don't appear for people who don't follow them. Use what you find to join conversations, not to spam or harass people. Xholic AI is not affiliated with X Corp.
FAQ
Twitter advanced search FAQ
Operators, dates, accounts and why a search can come back empty.
Does Twitter advanced search still work?
Yes. X still supports search operators such as from:, since:, min_faves: and filter:links, and keeps an Advanced search form on desktop web, reached from the search results page while you're logged in. Support can vary between web, the mobile apps and X Pro, so test an important query on desktop web first.
How do I search tweets by date?
Add since:YYYY-MM-DD and until:YYYY-MM-DD to your search, for example since:2026-01-01 until:2026-03-31. The until: date is exclusive, so it returns posts from before that day. In this builder, set the From and To dates and the operators are added for you.
How do I search someone's tweets?
Use from:username with any keywords, such as from:paulg startups. Add since: and until: to limit the dates, or filter:links to see only posts where they shared a link. Enter the handle in From these accounts and the builder writes it for you.
Why does Advanced Search show no results?
Usually the query is too narrow or has a syntax slip: a wrong date format, a missing quote or parenthesis, or a lowercase or. Remove the engagement filters first, then the other filters one at a time. Very new posts can also take a while to show up, and protected accounts are hidden from people who don't follow them.
Can I search X without an account?
You can build and copy a query here without any account. X itself may ask you to log in before it shows search results, and its Advanced search form is documented as part of the logged-in desktop web experience.
Can I use search operators on mobile?
Yes. You can type or paste operators into the search box in the X app, but behavior can differ from desktop web. Copy the query from this builder and paste it into the app.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It's free, needs no signup and runs entirely in your browser.
