Alternatively, you can also use the advanced search using Twitter's search operators.
Here's a list of search operators that you can use directly in the search bar without using the UI.

So how can you use Twitter Advanced Search for research?
1. Find the most popular tweets about a topic
Have some topics in mind to research?
You can use the engagement filters to find the best tweets about a topic.
You can also use "min_retweets:50" or "min_faves:100" to search instead of using the Search UI.

Perhaps you're looking for a tweet you remember seeing in the past?
Or maybe you want to see if your favorite creator has previously written about a topic?
You can use "from:username" to find tweets by a specific account.

3. Find tweets within a specific time period
You can use the 'Dates' section to find tweets within a date range.
You can also do the same using the "since" and "until" keywords.
Example: "Bitcoin" until:2018-01-01 will only show you tweets about Bitcoin before 2018.
