From my previous posts you learnt about Twitter as in What is Twitter, How Twitter can help you get more productive and about the Polls feature introduced for Twitter by PollDaddy.

With Twitter’s popularity graph going up exponentially day after day, lets talk about the much needed feature Twitter Search. Summize , the web application which helps to connect you with the opinions of millions of people on zillions of products has come up with Realtime Twitter Search Engine.

twitter.summize.com indexes Twitter’s public timeline in realtime, thread together associated tweets, and gives you the search tools to dig in. Summize Blog also talks about the Search Options which can enhance your Twitter search.

Search Options

Refine your queries with these optional search operators:

• Find tweets from a user: from:alexiskold
• Find tweets to a user: to:techcrunch
• Find tweets referencing a user: @mashable
• Find tweets containing a hashtag: #haiku
• Find tweets with an attitude:
• Combine any of the operators together: jquery from:jeresig

You can use the “Search Options” dropdown next to the search box to automatically introduce these search operators. The dropdown also includes an option to find tweets written in a given language.

I tried doing a search about Muziboo and found the results pretty impressive.

Do share your comments on this.
