Twitter said on Wednesday that its direct message search function has been significantly enhanced — it can now scan the content of your chats and return individual messages that include the phrase you enter. Previously, you could only use it to search for people’s names or the names of group chats, but now you can just put “chilli” into the search box to discover that one conversation you had with a buddy about “chilli.”
Of course, searching for specific people or conversations remains possible, and you can even choose whether you want to view results for individuals, groups, or messages – useful if the term you’re looking for happens to be someone’s name.’
