Get rid of RT’s from search results

Posted by josh_benson in Tips & Tricks | 20 Views | Leave a response
Get rid of RT's in Twitter search
Here’s an example of search results that have been trimmed by simply adding -RT to the search box.

Have you ever wanted to search Twitter results and get rid of all the Retweets so you can perform a search that just shows the original content?

It’s very easy.

Get rid of retweets in search results by adding the minus sign search operator.

All you have to do is enter -RT to see a list of original results. Yep, it’s that easy. This way you can search popular terms and drastically cut down on the results and it will only show the content you’re looking for.

And lookie there, Justin Beiber is sending out a New Year’s Eve tweet that’s original. It could have been retweeted thousands of times. This helps you wade through the mess and find the original author.

Happy searching!
