my tweets not showing on twitter search

I'm having problem, too. None of my tweets are showing in Twitter Search/Summize. I tried setting my updates to private, then back to public. This has solved the problem in the past, but not this time. Updating from web, Twitterfox and Twitterberry. Same for all: Keyword search returns nada. User Name search returns @replies but not my tweets. Last update that appeared on Twitter Search, 15 days ago. Looks like I'm being filtered?

Same problem here http://search.twitter.com/search?q=mm...

I don't think I've been doing anything improper with my account. Please help. I've been trying to solve this for about a week now.

This is happening to me, too, for about a week now. Help!

In case you haven't done so yet, please consider logging a support ticket at http://twitter.com/help with a description of your problem. Please include the username of your account as well.

I started using the #invisibletosearch hash tag. Irony is that nobody will find it because I am invisible to search!

Makes it pointless to tweet about #election08, you know?!

@mdy

Hey! I was checking to see if I actually submitted a ticket to twitter (think I did, but could not find confirmation email), so started setting up a new ticket and discovered that my tweets are now showing up in search!

Not sure if you did anything to fix, but I will give you ALL the credit. Awesome.

bigboxcar, I don't see #invisibletosearch at twitter search. And I'm still not in the results either :(

@loribourne,

I had only used the #invisibletosearch hash tag before the problem was fixed, and it looks like search has not indexed all of my previous tweets. So I just twittered a test, and it shows up:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=in...

Interesitngly enough, it looks like my tweet does NOT show up if you search using the '#' character: #invisibletosearch

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%2...

Wonder why that is? Searching with the '#' character works with other words:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%2...

What up with that?

So, it's only indexing your most recent tweets? I put one up a few minutes ago and I don't see that either, so if your problem is solved mine isn't yet :(

Thanks for the reply!

Hey Karl, glad you're being indexed again by Twitter Search. Followed your example and submitted a ticket tow Twitter. See if it helps. My updates stopped showing up on Twitter Search about 20 days ago.

If anyone from Twitter is following this thread a strange thing happened. I changed my account photo, then changed it back but it has now stopped appearing beside my old updates in Twitter Search. Instead, what appears is the beginning part of my pics file name on my computer.

Note to the Twitterati: I'm pulling my hair out over here. Help

Having this problem too. Very frustrating.

Username briantercero is the one giving hassles at the moment.

Thanks mdy - I've opened another thread to address the issue more clearly.

Any word on why this is broken and when it will be fixed?

This thread on the subject has a company response.

If you check my stream (@mjnewham), you'll see that I have tweeted 6,500+ - but search stopped indexing my tweets in December

.. I raised a ticket on Twitter Support #27027 (on the 11th Feb') but haven't heard anything.

I'm also having a problem with my tweets not being indexed. I submitted a help desk ticket directly to Twitter about three weeks ago but never heard anything back.

My tweets aren't showing up at all in search, not a thing, so using hashtags etc is a complete waste of my twitting time, I've sent a support ticket, must be around 20 days ago and I'm getting no support at all and no response, it's driving me nuts!

Username is BlazingMinds

Same problem here.Please help

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=re...

Yup, us too! @sonicsedition

Same problem :( doing my head in need to get things working ASAP as i use apps which rely on being able to access my tweets from the search :(

Just started happening to me sometime between July 22 and July 29th. @ICRecipes

Add me into this problem too. It's driving me nutty

Katie

Same problem here...only some appear on search

Same problem here: @JoeWalkerGuitar

same problem here as everyone else: @flowerchild0008

same problem @mansonbook - why use twitter if you can't participate in a conversation and get peeps to follow you. They'll only see what you say if they follow at this point.

Oops I started a new thread not seeing you could reply here.
I have the same problem
@dillouz

same here!!! aaaaarggghhhhhhhh!!!!

does anyone have a solution?

lanlankawaii, it looks to me like your tweets are showing up in search.

You can see it here: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=fr...

Unless you meant a different account?

Hi they sometimes come through but mostly if i add a link they dont, just posted a few more when i search they're def not showing. can you take a look.

I have the same problem, my tweets aren't appearing in search either http://twitter.com/RichKavanagh

This is what I did. First change your username in settings, change your email too. Log out of twitter. Then make/sign up for a new twitter account(since you changed it, you can now use the same username/email you had before). Then delete the one you changed since you now have two accounts. Worked for me.

same problem here - lodged ticket, got message back saying "resolved" nothing changed! if you go to "find people" and search @sassyele it says cannot be found and none of my hashtagged tweets show up either - no further forward and getting increasingly more frustrated! no message saying my accounts been suspended either so not sure what the problem is! HELP!!!!

The email you got back as RESOLVED will have this at the bottom of it:

"If you feel you've been suspended in error, please reply to this email with a short explanation if you haven't already, and don't forget to include your user name. We'll be in touch with more information soon."

Get replying...

The real answer though is here:

Enjoy :)

Elaine, what did you do to get filtered out of Search?

try this one http://twitter.com/RichKavanagh/statu...

My tweets do not appear in the public timeline. I use hash tags and tweets do not show when I search for them.

Same problem with me [ @papachan ] .... nothing fixed since several months... and i couldnt post an issue to support.twitter.com

Same problem with my account, @jffa_hi

Does not show up in twitter search or people search.

How many times can I post this solution?

http://twitter.com/RichKavanagh/statu...

Finally! - This seems to have fixed it all up for me! http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

I'm having the same problem too, they just recently stopped showin my Tweets in the search...It's very frustrating because I see bots gettting onto the search all the time.

I continue to have this problem as well. I've tried to contact Twitter customer service (both by @username and by filing a service ticket) and nobody responds to my multiple pleas for help. My service request was closed without comment. I feel like Twitter is ignoring me. Could somebody with Twitter please help! I miss my Twitter Account and it's pretty much useless now. Thanks! @joshuahammond

Twitter FINALLY fixed mine! All I did was submit a ticker here: http://help.twitter.com/requests/new and it did take them a little while but it's well worth it when it's finally fixed.

I tried submitting a new request using MW's link but it was marked as 'solved' straight away.

I'm a bit fed up with this as I only post about ten times a day and have between one and three hashtags per Tweet.

When I search on my hashtags I see other folk making about five Tweets a minute and have the same multiple hashtags - so if it is about how I use the system, it isn't a level playing field.

There's really no rhyme or reason to this, and it's been going on for over a year. Twitter needs some competition. That's the only thing that will get this ridiculousness fixed.
