How to Save a Search on Twitter

The saved search feature is not available on the mobile app. You must log into go to Twitter.com to save a search.

To run a saved search, click in the search bar, then scroll down to Saved searches and select the saved search term.

When you no longer want a particular query to appear in your drop-down list, click inside the search bar, and select the trash can icon next to the name of the search you want to delete. If you only want to change the phrasing of a Twitter saved search, you have to delete the saved query and create a new one.

It’s important to keep in mind that keywords, hashtags, and trending topics are fast-moving targets on Twitter. Think of the tweet stream as a rushing river or cacophonous conversation. What that means for Twitter searching is that you may have to change the exact phrasing of any query to effectively track a particular topic on Twitter. So from time to time, try different versions and phrasing of your saved Twitter search to see different wording yields better results. A variety of third-party Twitter search tools can help.
