I still think there is a lot great keywords that are highly searched but people don’t put down the whole keyword due the limited tweet box. I know this months old post but seems to me twitter has the slow periods don’t know from volume or that last hacker attack.

Google’s blogsearch seems to be experiencing the same problems as Twitter’s search from time to time.

Twitter is so goofed up. You can’t even add a picture to your profile these days. Bah.

That should take like 5 minutes to fix the bug. It’s been unfixed for weeks now. Twitter’s answer is probably more beer.

Twitter search not being real-time is one thing – its archive only going back a couple of days is another thing – I’ve been watching the backlog getting smaller week by week while working on twitter-friends.com.
Google wouldn’t even have to rebuild a Twitter-like application. Indexing all Tweets (and dents and Buschfunk etc.) and building a loooong backlog could be enough? But, I’m not so sure this will happen. Google’s blogsearch seems to be experiencing the same problems as Twitter’s search from time to time.

I feel their pain. So their index engine might have crashed, an alert went out, the person in charge was away and couldn’t get it restarted for four hours. They probably haven’t lost the tweets (in the DB), just the entries within the index.

They can probably rebuild the index. Problem is, that might take days – literally (imagine rebuilding a massive index while keeping it up to date at the same time = very slow). So a four hour gap is an acceptable loss for a couple days until the index is rebuilt.

“Fix your damn search functionality Twitter, you’re not much use without it.”

Thank God you were here to let them know what needed to be done. Otherwise search might still be down!

If real time is what it says to be it will revolutionize search and be a marketer’s dream and could lead to huge advertising revenue for Twitter.

Good catch and humorous, timely post. I had noticed the delay in just watching new posts come up at an event. 3-4 hours lag is unacceptable given that there are a lot of new startup search engines that will outperform Twitter’s Summize. As they say, competition is good so hopefully this reality will light a fire under Twitter to fine-tune its search capabilities so they are not so dated.

Will this Titter search give any information, like Google search? I don’t understand what *is* there to search *in* Twitter?

I noticed this a couple of weeks ago, actually. It was about 1 hour behind for several hours. I asked around, and other people had noticed it, too.

That’s funny, because from where I’m standing, Twitter Search is up-to-date and this post is more than 12 hours old.
