Twitter has reportedly widened its search function allowing users access to 500 million tweets.
According to News.com.au, the newly enhanced search function can burrow back through half a trillion tweets to find one's most embarrassing moment from as early as 2006.
Twitter said in a statement that its search engine excelled at surfacing breaking news and events in real time, and its search index infrastructure reflected this strong emphasis on recency.
It further stated that its longstanding goal had been to let people search through every Tweet ever published.
