[twitter-dev] Re: Suggestion: Ability to just search amongst a user's friends
So searching with a particular list as a filter is not yet possible. Any way of replicating this in an other way via a script parsing through list members tweets? Thanks.

We now have this in friendbinder.com - though unfortunately we don't currently have an API. On Nov 3, 5:35 pm, yoni wrote: > This functionality would be *huge*.

This functionality would be *huge*. Likewise, it'd be great if we could search lists. Now that we have 'em, it'd be great to use lists as filters for search. So, in the current search API, we've got from:USER, it'd be great if we could have in:LIST or some such.

I agree with Jesse, this feature was key for me in Friendfeed, it is very powerful. You could also search lists (hint hint ;)) Personally I would would be happy with my @PaulKinlan user being put back into search results, it has not been included in any search for several months now - but that is a whole separate issue.

we've managed to search links from friends (just published links): http://tlink.linkstore.ru and hashtags http://tbuzz.linkstore.ru On Oct 28, 6:33 am, Jesse Stay wrote: > I have a project in which it would be tremendously easier if I could just > specify a search to take place amongst a particular user's Twitter friends, > instead of across the entire site.

Ideally this could all be done in the search query. Append who:everybody, who:friends, or who:self (I believe FriendFeed does something like this) to the query and it only searches the specified people. This way no API changes are needed. Only backend infrastructure to handle the new query terms.

[twitter-dev] Re: Suggestion: Ability to just search amongst a user's friends
On a related point as a Twitter user with far more than 3200 tweets any chance that the following two features might also be considered: 1. Search your OWN tweets? (ideally all not just the most recent 3200 - both DM's & tweets - possibly including DM's recieved as well as sent) 2. Retrieve, perhaps download, all of your own tweets in a standard, structured format ideally including the URL's for each tweet. And a third thought any possibility of adding an "info" feature to show backlinks? (akin to how bit.ly does this) both for a Twitter profile and for individual tweets? Perhaps also for search urls?

This is something that we're considering internally. I'll bring it up again, though. -Chad On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 11:33 PM, Jesse Stay wrote: > I have a project in which it would be tremendously easier if I could just > specify a search to take place amongst a particular user's Twitter friends, > instead of across the entire site.
