For example, if you’re looking for an old Tweet you sent about what you did on New Year's day, you can search for Tweets containing “New Years” but excluding “Resolution” between December 30, 2013 and January 2, 2014. You can also search for Tweets in English by using the hashtag. For example, “#WorldCup” sent from Brazil in July 2014 will show you Tweets about the world cup that year.
