Free Twitter advanced search builder
Fill in what you're looking for: words, accounts, likes, dates, language. Get the exact X search query, then open it on x.com or copy it into the app. Runs in your browser, no signup.
Stop re-running X searches by hand.
Prospy runs your search on X and 11 more sources all day, scores every post for buying intent and sends the ones worth a reply to email, Slack or your AI agent. No X login needed.
Prospy's X Advanced Search Builder writes Twitter advanced search queries for you. Fill in exact phrases, words to include or leave out, accounts, minimum likes, replies and reposts, a date range and a language, and it builds the query with X's own operators (like min_faves: and -filter:links), ready to open on x.com or paste into the X app. A question filter finds people asking for recommendations, which is where buyers are. It runs entirely in your browser: no account, no email.

Twitter advanced search without memorising operators
X's advanced search form is only on the website, and it leaves out filters like questions and media. The operators do everything, if you remember them. This builder does.
- 1
Fill in what you're after
Words and phrases, accounts, a minimum number of likes, a date range. Or start from a buyer-intent example and change the product name.
- 2
Get the exact query
The builder writes it with X's own operators as you type, and tells you when something won't work, like a date range that ends before it starts.
- 3
Open it on X, or copy it
Open the Latest or Top results on x.com in one click, or copy the query into the X app's search box. Bookmark the page to keep the search.

Three searches that find buyers
People rarely tag a brand when they're ready to buy. They ask a question. These queries find them.
Recommendation requests
("any recommendations" OR "can anyone recommend") crm -filter:links ?People asking which tool to use. Swap “crm” for your category.
Competitor churn
hubspot ("alternative to" OR "switching from" OR "moving off")People leaving a competitor and looking around. Reply with help, not a pitch.
Pain without a product name
"spending hours" (spreadsheet OR manually) -filter:links lang:enThe problem you solve, said in your buyer's words.
Reply as yourself, answer the question, and mention your product only where it helps. Prospy never posts for you: it finds the posts, scores them and hands them to you or your agent through the MCP server.
Run a search once, or have it run every day
A saved X search still means opening it, scrolling and guessing which posts matter. Prospy runs your searches on X and the rest of the web all day, and tells you which posts are worth a reply.

How do I use Twitter advanced search?
Fill in the form above and click “Open on X”. The builder writes the query with X's search operators, like from:, min_faves: and since:, and opens the results on x.com. You can also copy the query into the search box in the X app, where the advanced search form isn't available.
Can I use Twitter advanced search without an account?
You can build the query here without any account. To see the results, X asks you to sign in: it shows search results to signed-in accounts only. If you'd rather not search X by hand at all, Prospy runs your searches on X for you and sends the matches to your inbox or Slack.
What are the most useful X search operators?
For finding customers: an "exact phrase", -filter:links to drop promotional posts, min_faves: to find posts people engaged with, lang: to stay in your market, and a question mark (?) to find people asking for something. The cheat sheet above lists all 18 with examples.
How do I search tweets from a specific date?
Set a from date and a to date. The builder adds since:YYYY-MM-DD and until:YYYY-MM-DD. The until: date isn't included, so to search one day, set the to date to the day after. Use the Latest tab to see results in order.
How do I find tweets with a lot of likes?
Set a minimum number of likes. The builder adds min_faves:, and min_replies: or min_retweets: for replies and reposts. Open the Top tab for the most-engaged posts first.
How do I find people asking for recommendations on X?
Tick “Only posts that ask a question” and add phrases like "any recommendations" or "looking for a" plus your category, then leave out links so promotional posts drop away. The “People asking for a CRM” example does exactly that.
Does this tool send my search anywhere?
No. The query is built in your browser and only goes to X when you open it. The page address updates with your query so you can bookmark or share it; that's all.
What is Prospy?
Prospy is social listening for startups and B2B teams. It watches 12 sources (X, Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, Quora, Product Hunt, GitHub and Medium) for your keywords, scores every mention for buying intent with AI, and pushes the ones worth a reply to email, Slack, Discord, webhooks, a REST API and an MCP server for AI agents. It never posts for you.
