‘Twitter Finally Makes All Your Tweets Searchable’ – ‘Marketing Land’ Article
Martin Beck says, “Twitter’s memory is about to get a lot better.
The company announced today that it has indexed all public tweets and will be giving users the ability to search through the full body of Twitter’s roughly half trillion posts.
Twitter’s search has long been incomplete because the company’s engineers focused on sifting through real-time output. The real-time search engine, an inverted index of about a week’s worth of tweets, has been supplemented since 2012 with about 2 billion “top tweets” and in 2013 that link was made more robust.
Now Twitter has completed the task of incorporating the full archive — which is more than 100 times larger than the live index and grows by several billion tweets a week — beginning with @Jack’s first message on the network“.
