Twitter Saved Searches¶

Set Up the Twitter Plugin (Admin only)¶

To search a keyword or hashtag, you will need to create a new application on Twitter for ThinkUp and then configure Consumer key and Consumer secret in Settings > Plugins > Twitter > Configure

Set Up a Twitter account¶

Then you will need to add a Twitter account in Settings > Plugins > Twitter > Configure > Add a Twitter account.

Adding a keyword or hashtag search (Admin only)¶

Once a Twitter account has been authorized, you can save a search for hashtags or keywords in Settings > Plugins > Twitter > Configure > Saved searches. Then you can add a hashtag (ex: #mwc2013) or keyword (ex: Messi) and click on Save Search.

Next time ThinkUp’s crawler runs it will execute this search and save the resulting tweets.

Viewing a keyword or hashtag search¶

To view tweets retrieved from a search, use ThinkUp’s search box.

Deleting a keyword or hashtag search (Admin only)¶

To delete a saved search, on the saved search page, click on the Delete button.

This action deletes:

• The saved search
• The posts relationship to the hashtag
• If another instance has not saved it, the hashtag.

It does not delete:

• Links
• Posts
• Users
