Twitter: the Search Engine

More and more internet users are turning to Twitter to fulfill their search engine needs. When using Twitter to do a search, the results are related Tweets.

For instance, if you are Tweeting about an upcoming event in your local area, Twitter users will find your Tweet in their results if they searched for that event. The results can be filtered by most-recent posts, local posts, etc.
