Twitter rolls out new search and featured user spotlight section

Micro-Blogging Tweets Twitter

Well we knew it was coming but didn’t know when and it looks like today is the day, twitter has started rolling out a new search feature along with a new “Featured user” section in the results. Here are some screenshots below.

I’m not sure how twitter will choose the featured users but the search is an along waited feature. What else would you like to see twitter change or add to their main site? Do you have the search feature yet?

Will you stop using search.twitter.com when the search feature is on your profile?

    Yes – I’d be very interested to know how the Featured Users are selected. From what I can tell, it has absolutely nothing to do with the search criteria you’ve entered — you’d think it would. I do notice in some prelim testing that it’s coming up w/high profile corporate users and celebrities…
