I had this happen to me. I believe that the issue I had was that I had too many tweets with links and not enough status updates. To get out of Twitter search purgatory, I submitted a Support ticket as well as searched over the internet to look for solutions. I participated in forums, solicited help and eventually I'm back in Twitter Search. Not sure exactly what did it but I was persistent

Persistence seemed to pay off very nicely for you Chad. Thanks for sharing some of the steps you took for those who have had questions on how to get back in once you're out.

If you schedule your tweets, I would also suggest that you consider using more than one source (e.g. Hootsuite AND Future Tweets).

How interesting. My search results don't match at all my tweets! I can't even determine a pattern. Ay dos mio!

Ah, make sure you don't have a space between from:username. Weird how that would affect the search results. I started to worry! Thanks for the tips!

No problem Jeff. Thanks for the update on that spacing twist.

Hmmm...my tweets don't show up in search! Now what do I do?
Contacting Twitter won't do a thing. It's up to them and in their discretion to filter you out in search. My main account (@goldcoastgirl) is not showing up in search yet all my other smaller niche accounts ... are... and here I was thinking I was abiding by the rules. Yes, I'm confused.

Hi, Corvida,
If you'd like to automate the checking of whether your tweets are being indexed, I just launched a new service called @SearchCheck (http://twitter.com/SearchCheck). Perhaps you could share your thoughts on it?

Dossy, I just added SearchCheck to EverythingTwitter.com: http://bit.ly/3xUpgF. I'll be sure to update this post with SearchCheck also. Thanks for the tip Dossy and for creating SearchCheck.

ugggh, I've been frustrated with this for months. I've been filtered out of searches since the summer time because I'm from a controversial nonprofit (childhood immunizations) and lots of people block me just to try to get me kicked off of Twitter. Do you know how I can open a service request and see if I can get this changed?

Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the nonprofit you work for will continue to impact your Twitter experience negatively. Your best bet would be to reach out to Twitter directly for help.

I've been out of Twitter Search since last April :( :( No support ticket did the trick so far. I'm not aware if that is because something I did, or random glitch - I wish I'd gone through that list earlier..
