About Twitter’s min_faves search filter

You can do searches like:

from:frankieboyle min_faves:10000

to see, for example, the best tweets from a given account. It works really well – you just need to pick an appropriate minimum value for the account.

Examples:

• https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Afrankieboyle%20min_faves%3A10000
• https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Afesshole%20min_faves%3A400

There’s also a min_retweets filter which can be used for a similar purpose.
