Recommended Search Strategy for Researchers

For General Sentiment (balanced view):

python3 ... "PROJECT_NAME" --min-likes 10 --no-retweets --lang en --count 20

For Quality Alpha (influencers, high engagement):

python3 ... "\$TOKEN" --min-likes 50 --verified --type Top --count 15

For Recent News (last 24-48h):

python3 ... "PROJECT_NAME announcement" --within 48h --min-likes 20 --count 15

For Visual Content (charts, infographics):

python3 ... "PROJECT_NAME metrics" --has-media --min-likes 30 --count 10

Search Tips

• Always use quality filters (--min-likes at minimum) to avoid spam
• Use --no-retweets for original opinions/analysis
• Use --lang en to get English content
• For tokens, use $SYMBOL format (e.g., $SOL, $ETH)
• Combine --verified with --min-likes for high-signal content
• Use --type Top for most engaging tweets
• Use --within 7d for recent, relevant discussions
