You probably didn’t notice but Twitter added a name search recently.
That means I can search by first name, last name, or complete name. It used to be you could only search by username. That would be fine if you were looking for me, @MikeMueller, but not so fine if you were searching for someone like Daniel Rothamel who goes by @RealEstateZebra.
It seems that it ranks the results based on the number of Followers. That may be fine for certain instances but I’d also like to be able to sort by updates, or other attributes.
My search for other Mueller’s turned up almost 200 .
* and No, I didn’t find Robert Mueller on Twitter (yet)
If your name is "Smith" you’ll find almost 4,000 of your kin!
BTW: You’ve always been able to search for a particular username.
