Next, I would like to show you the geocode search operator, which will allow you to restrict your
search by a given location.
So to use it, all we have to do is type geocode.
And then we need to add the latitude and longitude and the radius for example one kilometres, five
kilometres, ten kilometres, etc..
Now this is very useful if you would like to gather information about a certain city or a certain area,
because if an event or something has happened in that area, normally people will tweet on Twitter and
you will be able to see their latest tweet about or from this area.
Now let me show you a live example right here.
I'm going to show you how can you find tweets that are posted from the city of Porto from Portugal?
So all you have to do is just to go to Google Maps and then right click on the city, let's say like
this.
And then click on the coordinates.
And then they will be copied to your clipboard.
And next I'm going to go to Twitter.
And then I'm going to say geocode.
And then I'm going to paste the coordinates.
And I'm going to keep only five numbers after the dot like this and here as well.
And then I'm going to specify the radius which is going to be five kilometers.
For example, you can set it to ten, 15 or 20km.
And now I'm going to hit enter and let me remove the space in here.
And now we can see all the tweets from this place.
So these are not sorted.
So if you want to see the latest posts or tweets we can go to latest.
And you can see that this was the last tweet from this place.
Of course if I refresh the page I might get something else.
So let me go to this profile and you can see that this Twitter account is from Portugal, from this
city.
So let me copy the name of the city, go to Google Maps and put it in here.
And you can see this is within the radius of the coordinates that we have copied.
Now let's come back to the search results and see all the tweets that are about Osint from this place.
So let me say Osint and then hit enter and we didn't get anything.
Let me change the radius for example to Kilometres.
And as you can see, we have got search results that are related to Osint from this place.
All right.
So here are some other search operators that you can use to narrow down your search.
So for example we have Add that will allow you to see if a certain Twitter account has mentioned another
Twitter account.
So I'm going back to my search.
And then I'm going to say from Z security.
And then I'm going to say add cyber pseudo.
And this should show me if Z security has mentioned the account cyber pseudo.
And you can see that he did mentioned this account on his Twitter account.
And then we have the filter search operator that will allow you to filter your search results and only
find retweets.
For example, replies and media and media mean any picture, video or link that is embedded in a tweet.
So I'm going to say from Z security.
And then I would like to say filter.
And then I would like to say replies to see all the replies that Z security made.
And as you can see, here are all the replies.
I can also say retweet and we didn't find any retweets.
So I'm going to say retweet.
We didn't find anything.
So let me say media and we should get videos, links or pictures.
Now we can also exclude certain search results.
So by saying replies and then minus behind the filter.
And this will show us all search results except the replies that the security made.
The last search operator that I would like to show you is the or search operator.
That is very similar to the one that we have used in the search engine Osint section, which will allow
you to search for a certain term or another term.
So I'm going to say from Z security.
And then I would specify, for example Osint as my search term and then or cyber security.
And then I'm going to hit enter.
And as you can see here we find the word cyber security.
I can scroll down and find the word cyber security again.
And you can see that most of the tweets that Social Security made have mentioned the search term cyber
security.
