Twitter is an American microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as 'tweets'. Registered users can post, like and retweet tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface or its mobile-device application software ('app'), though the service could also be accessed via SMS before April 2020.

Your settings will apply to searches on the web, in your iOS app, and in Twitter for Android.

Twitter Search Syntax
There are many ways to use search on Twitter. You can find Tweets from yourself, friends, local businesses, and everyone from well-known entertainers to global political leaders. By searching for topic keywords or hashtags, you can follow ongoing conversations about breaking news or personal interests.
We give you control over what you see in your search results through safe search mode. These filters exclude potentially sensitive content, along with accounts you have muted or blocked, from your search results. You have the option to turn it off, or back on, at any time (instructions outlined below).
