How to Search Bookmarks on Twitter

If you're like me, you probably use Twitter bookmarks to save valuable tweets for later. Whether it’s an insightful thread, an interesting article, or something entertaining, bookmarks are a lifesaver.

But as time goes on, they can pile up, making it nearly impossible to find what you need.

This happened to me. I bookmarked so many great tweets, thinking, "I’ll come back to this later," but when I tried to find a specific one, it felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. Sound familiar?

Don’t worry—there’s an easy solution to this.

Here’s how to search bookmarks on Twitter to quickly locate the tweets you saved.

Why Search Your Bookmarks?

Bookmarks are an underrated Twitter feature, especially for those of us who love to save interesting tweets. But without a way to search through them, you might waste time scrolling endlessly to find the one tweet you need.

Thankfully, Twitter/X provides a built-in search feature within the bookmark section.

With a keyword or account name, you can filter through your bookmarks and instantly locate the content you’re looking for.

How to Search Bookmarks on Twitter

Twitter’s bookmark search feature is simple but incredibly effective. Follow these steps:

Step #1: Go to the Bookmark Section and Use the Search Bar

Open your Twitter app or website and click on the Bookmarks tab in the left-hand menu. This will display all the tweets you’ve saved.

At the top of the Bookmarks page, you’ll see a search bar. This is your gateway to finding exactly what you need.

Step #2: Enter Keywords or Account Names

Type in a keyword, account name, or phrase related to the tweet you’re trying to find. For instance:

➡️ Searching "delete" will show all tweets about the keyword of delete, which you bookmarked.

➡️ Typing an account handle like "@circleboom" will filter tweets from that user.

Twitter will display all bookmarks that match your search criteria. Scroll through the results to find the tweet you’re looking for.

With this simple feature, you no longer have to scroll endlessly through hundreds of saved tweets. Instead, you can quickly locate what you need and make the most of your bookmarked content.

Pro Tip: Create Folders for Better Organization of Twitter Bookmarks

While the search feature is fantastic, taking a few extra steps to organize your bookmarks will make your life even more accessible.

Twitter allows you to create folders (or "collections") within your bookmarks so you can categorize tweets by topics or interests. Here’s how to do it:

How to Create Twitter Bookmark Folders

On the Bookmarks page, tap the “+” icon or "Add Folder" button.

Give your folder a meaningful name (e.g., "Info," "Entertainment," "Trade") and select an icon to represent it.

When you bookmark a new tweet, you can immediately assign it to a folder, keeping your bookmarks tidy and manageable.

Why You Should Use Folders

Using folders is a game-changer for bookmark management.

Here’s why:

🟢 Save Time: Quickly find what you need without using the search bar.

🔵 Stay Organized: Keep your professional, personal, and entertainment-related tweets separate.

🟠 Be Productive: Easily revisit saved tweets to put insights into action.

For example, I have folders named “Info” for educational tweets, “Trade” for finance-related content, and “Entertainment” for fun threads.

This way, I can quickly dive into the content I need without any confusion.

Final Thoughts

Twitter bookmarks are a fantastic tool for saving valuable content, but without organization, they can quickly become overwhelming.

By using the built-in search feature and creating folders, you’ll streamline your experience and make the most of your saved tweets.
