Twitter advanced search adds filters that can help with Covid related resources, here is how it works

Twitter has added a new feature that can help Covid patients or their families or friends in India find hospital beds, oxygen supplies, and more with a location filter on the platform.

Twitter as a platform has seen a tremendous surge of users posting updates about help, supplies, SOS, and more such situations in the past few weeks. Now, in the current times, if you are looking for data around hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, or medicines, then you have to keep your search on Twitter limited to these keywords. Remember, the key to finding the correct info on Twitter is related to your specific query, so keep it around the most important search keywords. The second wave of Covid has been brutal, to say the least, and what that means is it could be a long battle for our country and one that will require everyone to come together to do their bit. In these times, social media platforms are playing a major role, and in particular, Twitter, where people are posting requests, updates, and helpful resources that can help find the latest information and access resources faster. Twitter's new advanced search feature is now available in India when you're logged in to the platform on the desktop. It allows users to tailor search results to specific date ranges, people and more. This makes it easier to find specific tweets. Before discussing how it works for users, let's first explain how you can refine your search on a platform like Twitter. Let's say if you'd like to see tweets that are close to your current location, type in a relevant hashtag in the search bar, tap the toggle button on the top right, and turn on 'Near you' under 'Location'. You'll have to turn on location settings for this to work.
