Ok I'm searching for twitter profiles with Google Ajax Search
I'm using the following query:
?q=Radiant+Hex+site:twitter.com
I'm looking for urls like these:
twitter.com/radianthex
twitter.com/ignighted
...
But I often stumble in URLs of the form:
twitter.com/lindsaylohan/status/7537167235
twitter.com/calvinharris/status/1905934068
Is there a way of removing these url from my search?
Help would be very much appreciated.
yeah if using the negate option in google, you could do that to get rid of some more sub-paths:
site:twitter.com (inurl:radianthex OR inurl:ignighted OR inurl:billgates)
-inurl:status -inurl:statuses -inurl:favorites -inurl:lists
is it possible to use the twitter api directly? they have a nice method to search for users...
the twitter call would look like this:
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/search.xml?q=radianthex
theyll give you a password when you signup for free access...
they have some cool search options to tighten the results to make them more relevant for your app
Looks like this works:
http://www.google.com/search?q=horse+site%3Atwitter.com+-inurl%3Astatuses+-inurl%3Astatus
the query being:
horse site:twitter.com -inurl:statuses -inurl:status
specifically it looks like you can use negation on the inurl keyword
