Lovers of Twitter and emoji can rejoice as Twitter now lets users search with emoji in the search bar.
If you spend a lot of your time on the microblogging site Twitter, then you know there are a couple of things that are vital: emoji use and knowing how to put Twitter's search feature to great use. The site's latest update unites those two things.
Twitter now gives you a chance to use emoji characters in its search bar. The update, which was first spotted by Emojipedia, is supported on both Twitter's site and applications.
With the change, users can now look up specific emoji either in usernames or the content of a tweet.
That may seem like a minor change, but it's a vital one for users who can now do an emoji-specific search. For example, if you are searching for the dark heart emoji, you can just type it in and see relevant results popping up. It will likewise enhance the search for specific users who use emoji in their usernames.
It's most likely not a component users will have to use regularly, but it's certainly a change for all emoji-related ventures. And, as The Next Web calls attention to, scanning for a random emoji, is additionally a brilliant approach to finding a great deal of peculiar and in some cases remarkable tweets you never would have seen.
Nevertheless, it was high time that Twitter implemented a feature like this since the use of emoji has been growing like a forest fire online. Emojis can now be found all over the web, in different applications.
