Search Twitter

Presents a menu for various Twitter search operations, including jumping right into the search field, showing Twitter Moments, searching through all tweets, cutting down results to only people you follow, or even searching your own tweets.

With this one tool, you can take advantage of all the awesome options buried in Twitter search – it’s like Google for people you follow.

This uses a combination of donated actions from Twitter, the Search Web action native to Shortcuts, and deep links taken from the web.
