Twitter’s calendar function doesn’t go back very far. I just tied to do a search starting a two weeks ago and received this error: since date or since_id is too old. Not sure why they have a calendar that let’s go back further than a few days if you can’t actually search that far back.

Hi Catherine,

Unfortunately it may very well be. I made a post here on Twitip recently that addressed this fact. As the amount of information being stored on Twitter’s servers grows larger and larger Twitter Search grows more and more limited in how far back it can search.

I’m trying to search Twitter for research purposes regarding my thesis on the Iranian election and it will not go back further than this week. Is this permanent?

Does anyone know if there’s a way to search between specific times, not just days?

Hi Ellen,

If you search using Twitter’s search engine at http://search.twitter.com then what you will be searching through is people’s conversations. At this time there is not a way to search for keywords in people’s bio; however using some of the functions I listed in the post above you can search through conversations coming from certain areas or times. I think you’ll find it useful to search through conversations related to recruiting. If you have any questions shoot me an e-mail and I can help you out more in depth.

Cheers,

Chris Allison

I am very new( yesterday) to twitter .I am reading Joel Comm’s book Twitter Power and trying to learn about twitter . I am also working on my settings and background right now. I will be using twitter mostly for business. I am an executive recruiter. My question is about the search power of twitter. If one was trying to find a recruiter to follow and you typed in recruiter in the find people area does this pull up people who have the word in their username or name ? or does it also search people’s profile? I read somewhere that I should make my bio very keyword rich for my occupation. But are we capable of searching people’s bios at this time?I need help deciding which words to use where so as to allow people to find me( I know I have to start following but haven’t gotten to that yet. Baby steps…
