iPhone Tips

Apple iPhone has a number tricks to get your work done faster.  And you may not know some of them.

For example, you can type in uppercase by double clicking the Shift key twice quickly.  To turn off, just click the Shift key again.

And to type a special character like #, you can press and hold the #+= key and then slide to the desired character.  That allows you to continue to use the normal alpha keyboard afterwards.

Finally, to use alpha with special characters, such as ~ , press and hold a letter and other alternatives will appear.  Just select the one you want to use!

Secret Twitter Photo Search

UPDATE 6/1/2015 - Updated with current instructions on how to search and filter Twitter results including Advanced Search.

----------------------------------------------------------

It's not so secret anymore.  In the years since this OneCoolTip first posted, Twitter has added additional search capabilities to its site.

Twitter has become the "go to" app for up-to-the-moment searches.

But with this enormous stream of information comes the challenge of how to filter unwanted results.

Fortunately, Twitter now has advanced search tools.

But first things first.  To do a photo search, enter your keyword(s) in the search box on the Twitter main page.  When the results are displayed, you can limit them to photos by selecting the "Photos" option in the top bar across the results.

In the example below, I searched for "cat" and then limited the results to just photos.

In addition, there are additional options besides "Top", "Live", "Accounts", "Photos" and "Videos".  Click the "More Options" link to show these options.

You can limit the results to just from people you follow or even from near your location.

Finally, there is a comprehensive "Advanced" Search option available at: https://twitter.com/search-advanced

The "Advanced" Search option page allows you to search full or partial words as well exact phrases and even hashtags.  Or even results that do not contain key words.

You can also search by accounts and account mentions.

And a very useful advanced search is to limit by date.

All of these options are great tools for finding the information you want from the very popular Twitter site.
