Or maybe I clicked your F-ing search button and YOU are the one with the problem.
Trying to search twitter makes me blind with rage.
I’m trying to get the original permalink from a specific tweet of mine from November.
I can find the tweet in a tweetake CSV, but when I search the dates on search.twitter.com, it returns no results. Searching with keywords I can verify are in the tweet returns no results. Searching using the advanced options returns a 404. Not a No Results Page. An actual 404.
And the error message blames me for mistyping the URL? Or maybe the Search Results paged moved? You know, the one that just displayed no results for me 10 seconds ago.
I begrudgingly admit this demonstrates that you can have abysmal UI/UX and still be successful.
