Search for Topics on Twitter

Check for better search results by using a hashtag.

• Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context to tweets. 

• You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.

• Hashtags were developed as a means to create "groupings" on Twitter, without having to change the basic service.
