Threads Finally Adds More Advanced Search Features

From PC Mag: Threads is continuing to add new features as it vies to keep its spot as one of the fastest-growing major social media apps this year.

On Monday, the app launched the advanced filters announced last month that sort out search results based on dates and profiles. This could be to help Threads compete with social media rivals X/Twitter and Bluesky, the latter of which has gained millions of users since the US elections.

Threads' default search previously only allowed keyword searches for trending accounts and topics, with "Top" or "Recent" as the sorting options. The new update could make your search results include more of what you want, like posts on a specific topic from a specific person within a specific timeframe.

Threads is now getting a new filter button to the right, which opens up options to add “After date,” “Before date,” and “From profile.” You can use one of the filters or a combination of multiple filters and follow it up with a keyword to locate the desired posts.
