Threads adds advanced search filters

Threads has announced new search tools, adding advanced filters and an “exact match” option for multi-term queries.

The update lets users narrow search results using four filters:

• Date posted
• Post type
• Community or topic
• Profile

Alongside those filters, the exact match option provides another way to refine searches involving multiple terms. Users will now be able to specify criteria such as when a post was published, its type, its community or topic, and its profile rather than relying on an unfiltered set of results.

The original report described existing Threads search results as poorly sorted and argued that improving discovery is important if the platform wants to become a more active destination for real-time discussion.
