[TwitterBridge] Restrict keyword search in tweet content

Open AntoineTurmel opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

When doing a keyword search, Twitter also include tweets from people having the keyword inside their username/name. It would be nice to filter them out by default, or provide an option to exclude those tweets.

This can be complicated depending on your keyword. As explained in #1163, the keyword search supports all of the advanced search options from Twitter.

That said, an exact match is pretty easy to implement and the other options could be done as well if we had a custom parser for search queries...

Do you have some sample queries for testing?

@AntoineTurmel Is this still relevant? I imagine this logic can be implemented inside bridge. Requires some parsing of the user provided query.

Yes sometimes I get results from people having keyword inside their username which is not relevant for monitoring subjects/trends.

@AntoineTurmel Can you provide example(s)? The API endpoints being used in both the TwitterBridge and TwitterV2Bridge should only be querying against tweet content, not usernames.
