Twitter’s Testing Advanced Search Tools for Direct Messages

Twitter looks to be working on the next stage of search for direct messages, with a new DM content search option found in the back-end code of the app.

Twitter appears to be developing a more advanced message search option, which would enable you to search all of your DMs for certain keywords or mentions, helping you to sort through your chats for specific topics.

NOTE: The feature was likely discovered by reverse-engineering the app to find hidden features and security vulnerabilities, so while it’s possible this may come up as a feature in the future, there is no guarantee that it will.
