Thread is rolling out a search feature that will allow users filter searches to a specific profile and within date ranges.
The current search has been a basic keyword search to find topics with Top and Recent sorting options.
A settings icon has been added to the search bar in the updated version that brings up After date, Before date and From profile options.
This option helps Threads to compete with Social media platforms such as X and Bluesky, which supports advanced searching compared to Threads.
Threads confirmed that the feature will be available to users globally in the coming weeks.
Meta has been releasing updates to compete with X and Bluesky. Bluesky has seen a surge in users as it crossed 20 million users in November. The social media platform has seen an influx of new users since the US presidential election results.
The reason behind the influx is Elon Musk’s involvement in US elections and also X’s announcement of allowing users to view posts from people who had blocked them.
To counter Bluesky and X, Meta’s Threads rolled out new features including custom following feeds, updated algorithm and also a design change making it easier to move between feeds.
