Whatever type of search you perform, you see the matching tweets under the heading Realtime results for term , where term is the search text you entered. The use of the word realtime (written,interestingly and a bit unusually, as a single word) means not only that you’re seeing the most recently posted tweets that match your search term, but that Twitter is tracking your search term in the background while your results are displayed.
If any new tweets are posted while you’re checking out the results,Twitter adds a banner above the results.
Here, x is the number of new results. You probably won’t see this banner for obscure search terms,but if your search is related to some topic that currently has lots of Twitter buzz, the banner mightappear surprisingly quickly.
For example, I ran a search on “ncaa” when the NCAA Basketball Tournament was playing, and within a few seconds Twitter displayed the banner shown in figure 6.8 to tell me that three new matching tweets had been posted.
Twitter keeps updating the banner, too. In the few minutes it took me to write the last couple of paragraphs, the banner updated itself (see figure 6.9) to show me there were now 63 new tweets that matched my search.
Fortunately, Twitter is smart enough not to mess with your displayed search results, so you can continue to study them without interruption. However, if you’re curious to see the very latest results, click the Refresh link in the banner to rerun your search.
