  • Here you can drill down your queries in very specific ways, including searching within date ranges, looking for tweets from or to specific people, referencing specific people, or written in various languages, and more.
  • One of the more interesting features here is the ability to look at tweets with specific “attitudes” — looking for positive tweets will turn up posts including a range of common smilies, indicating the overall tone of the tweet was positive. Looking for negative tweets conversely finds tweets featuring a range of frowns.
  • You can also look for tweets in certain locations, and set a range of how many miles to include in the search radius. Right now this is using the location specified by each user in his or her profile, but imagine how much more accurate and interesting these searches will be once the option to allow Twitter to see your actual location is implemented.
