Have you ever wanted to search your Twitter archive to locate an old tweet?

Twitter shows your most recent 3,200 tweets in your timeline, which sounds like a lot, but if you’ve been using Twitter for quite a while and tweet a lot, you may find it hard to search for old tweets.

The solution lies in Twitter’s Advanced Search function.

Here’s how to perform a search for your old tweets.

1. Go to https://twitter.com/search-advanced

2. Enter your username into the “From these accounts” field under “People.”

3. Select a date range from the pop-up calendar to view your tweets (or tweets from any profile you wish to see) within a specific time frame.

4. click the “Latest” tab to see all your tweets from this data range.

Bonus Tip!

Want to see the first-ever tweet you sent? Head over to www.findfirsttweet.com. Authenticate with your twitter account to unlock the search bar.

Here’s mine. Wow, I’ve been on Twitter for a long time!

Try it for yourself. Take a trip down Twitter memory lane and see how far you’ve come.
