"Twitter has started rolling out an update that allows you to see older tweets in search results. \nSearch results on Twitter were previously limited to tweets that had been made over the past week. The update significantly increases that time period (though Twitter has not said specifically by how much), surfacing older tweets based in part by how popular those tweets have been over time.\n\u201CWe look at a variety of types of engagement, like favorites, retweets and clicks, to determine which Tweets to show,\u201D Twitter\u2019s Paul Burstein said in a blog post announcing the update. \u201CWe\u2019ll be steadily increasing this percentage over time, and ultimately, aim to surface the best content for your query.\u201D\nThough it was announced Thursday, the search update was made Wednesday alongside updates to Twitter's  iOS and Android applications. Amongst other enhancements, the app update made it so search results display as a single stream, surfacing what Twitter calls the \u201Cmost relevant mix of tweets, photos, and accounts\u201D together as a single scrollable timeline.\nHave you seen any older tweets show up in your twitter searches? Let us know what you think about the update in the comments.\nThumbnail via iStockphoto, matspersson0; Screenshot courtesy NSpeaks, Navjot Singh"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
