# Free X advanced search query builder

Build an X advanced search from fields: words, exact phrase, either-or terms, accounts, dates, minimum likes and more. Copy it or open it on X.

Fill in any of the fields to build an X advanced search: words, an exact phrase, either-or terms, words to leave out, accounts, dates, minimum likes, replies and reposts, media and language. Copy the finished query, or open it on the Latest tab of X with one click. It runs in your browser.

## How it works

Each field becomes one part of the search string. Words you list together must all appear, a quoted phrase must appear as written, a minus sign leaves a word out, and OR inside brackets accepts either word. Accounts become from:, to: and @ terms, and the counts become minimum-engagement terms.

The finished string shows live under the fields. Copy it to use in X search, or press Open on X to run it on the Latest tab. If a field holds something X would reject, such as a date that does not exist, the builder says so and leaves that field out.

## What it checks

- Handles. An account name must be letters, numbers and underscores, up to 15 characters.
- Dates. Dates must be real calendar dates written as YYYY-MM-DD, and since cannot come after until.
- Counts. Minimum replies, likes and reposts must be whole numbers.
- Phrases. A term with a space is kept together in quotes so X reads it as one phrase.

> It runs in your browser. Nothing you type or choose is uploaded, and the page works without an account. To publish what you made, [start a trial](https://get1post.com/signup.md) and open it in the composer.

## Questions

**Do I need an X account to use the search?**

The builder needs nothing. To see results on X you should be signed in, because X offers its own advanced search form to signed-in accounts.

**What is the difference between likes in the API and on the website?**

X's developer documentation says web search names the operators min_faves and min_retweets, while its API names them min_likes and min_reposts. This tool writes the website names, because it opens the website.

**Is my search uploaded anywhere?**

No. The string is built in your browser. Pressing Open on X sends the search to x.com, the same as typing it there.
