As developments happen daily, it is often difficult to see all the posts we are interested in. However, Twitter makes it possible to find precisely what we are looking for.

Twitter provides an Advanced Search page for both mobile and desktop, which allows you to search for tweets published within a specific date range. If you're using mobile, open your browser and visit https://mobile.twitter.com/search-advanced. If you're using desktop, go to https://twitter.com/search-advanced?lang=el.
On the Advanced Search page , scroll down until you see the “ Dates ” section. There, you will find two parameters: “ From ” and “ To .”
Select the desired month, day and year for each parameter.
With From: You define tweets published after midnight (12:00 AM) of a date.
With Until: You define tweets published until midnight (12:00 AM) of a date.

While it sounds simple, using these parameters can be confusing. For example, if you want to find tweets only from May 1, 2014, you would set “From” to “May 1, 2014” and “To” to “May 2, 2014.” This will get you tweets posted between midnight on May 1 and midnight on May 2. You don’t set both fields to the same date.
Similarly, if you only want to find tweets from the month of May 2014, set “From” to “May 1, 2014” and “To” to “June 1, 2014.” This way, your search will cover all 31 days of May.
Then, scroll up and enter another parameter, such as a search term in the “Words” section or an account name in the “Accounts” section. When you’re done, click “Search.”

Once you see the results, you can further sort them by different criteria using tabs located just below the search bar. “Top” shows the matching tweets with the most engagement. “Most Recent” shows all matching tweets in reverse chronological order.
Similarly, you can find results that match people, photos, or videos by clicking on the other result tabs. If you need to do another search, just visit Twitter's advanced search page again and search again. It includes many powerful parameters that allow you to limit tweets on specific dates to or from specific people in specific geographic areas, and more.
