With Elon Musk seemingly changingTwitter/Xwith the weather, you might understandably want to try a different social media site. That’s the angle Meta has seemingly taken withThreadsand after a successful launch andbrowser implementation, it is now adding another essential feature.
Soon you will be able to search across Threads for keywords and phrases, not just for individual users' profiles. As an example if say, you wanted to see what people in general were saying about the latest AAA gameStarfield,you won’t have to search for specific people.
It’s a fairly basic feature but it highlights just how early in the life of Threads we are. Mark ‘Zuck’ Zuckerberg confirmed that this feature will be rolling out in both English and Spanish, hopefully with more languages to come soon (and less Vin Diesel GIFs).

We don’t yet know if Threads will implement a hashtag-style system like Twitter/X but maybe that would make the two sites too similar for comfort, especially with Twitter’s threats to sue (and the cage match drama). Still, it is a very useful filtering tool we would like to see introduced.
A key difference between the two (other than all the changes Elon Musk has made) is that while Twitter has a 280-character limit, Threads goes up to 500. As part of Meta’s suite of apps, it also links seamlessly with Instagram.
