Threads is upgrading its search tools as Bluesky competition heats up

Threads, in its ever-constant attempts for relevancy, is adding more search tools.

“We’re making it easier for you to search for specific posts here,” the Threads account posted in a post on Threads. “In the search bar, tap on the menu on the right and you’ll see the option to refine your search by a profile and date range.”

The post said that the update is rolling out globally over the next few weeks. Some people might have access to it now, while others might have to wait.

“If you don’t see it yet, you will soon 🫶,” the post read.

This comes at a time in which people are leaving X in droves after Elon Musk seems to be doing everything in his power to ensure the destruction of the app formerly known as Twitter. Users seem to be flocking to Bluesky, but Threads is far from vacant — and it’s doing its part to try to keep people interested.

Search might seem like a bit of a late addition to any social media app, but apparently not. Any additional feature that might be similar to the current internet darling Bluesky or our former lover Twitter is a clear option for Meta to consider adopting. Just a few days ago, Threads appeared to lean into Bluesky’s Starter Packs. If that doesn’t make you post on Threads, I don’t know what will.
