search.twitter.com (Summize or Twitter Search) would earn a spot on this post if it actually worked. I used to use the advance search to go back in my stream quickly and find specific threads. For example, back on June 5th I did a virtual wine tasting event. We used the hashtag #TTL and it was regarding the Clos Lechance winery. Try to find anything from @mmwine older than 5 days, no less specific enough to include the #ttl tag. Nothing shows up. It's been like this for 3-4 weeks now. Sad that twitter's own search engine doesnt work.

Do any of these services give you the number of results returned? i.e. total mentions?

Third party Twitter search apps continue to mushroom due to the ever-growing Twitter mania on the web. Personally, I was overwhelmed by all of these search services, so I ended up creating a Twitter Search Apps comparison chart to make my and some readers' life easier.

Twazzup and Tweetzi were not in my list but I do find them unique, may put these 2 in my follow up posting regarding the search apps in times to come. Thanks for sharing.

I'd like to see more about the backend of open Twitter search engines.

Twitturly ( http://twitturly.com ) has an interesting search too. It only returns tweets with links in them, but it lets you search for keywords, specific URL's (shortened or the final destination) and it lets you search for domains.

For example, here are all of the Mashable.com links: http://twitturly.com/domain...

And here is a keyword search for Mashable: http://twitturly.com/search...

To do a search, just go to our site, and search in the top right search box. It'll automatically determine what type of search you are doing.

'refresh' lets you fetch the latest messages manually while in 'pause' mode. This can be useful when monitoring a fast moving topic.

There's also http://interceder.net/conte... that shows Twitter results alongside mainstream news and youtube results and then attempts to identify common themes using Open Calais.

My favorite is BoilingPage (http://www.boilingpage.com) that brings the hottest pages on the web based on how popular they are in Twitter. In fact, I found this article through BoilingPage and it shows how popular this article is among Twitter users.

Great article Ari, nice to have these twitter search applications in one place for easy referencing. Lately, I have been using Twitzap, which not only allows me to update from the application, but continually run searches that will populate as I tweet. As a community manager it allows me to not only post updates regarding our content, but address users that are talking about out product and the industry in general - in real time. You can adjust the real-time update speed, and set as many searches as you wish. I recommend checking it out, if you haven't already!

Thanks!

Although it is not really a "search service", I came across a service today called, Tweetmeme, http://tweetmeme.com that updates the most popular links being tweeted on Twitter in real time. Also has a widget that you can add to your blog showing either the most recent or most popular links.

I like monitter [http://monitter.com/]. Streaming, real time, and 3 side by side searches. Not the best of the best but it's another one to throw in the mix. I tend to just use the built in search for Nambu.

I've tried using a few and they all seem to get the same results returned?

Thats interesting that people are creating websites to search when twitter has its own built in search....
