Threads Improves Search Features as Competition with Bluesky Intensifies


Threads, in its persistent effort to remain significant, is rolling out improved search functionalities.

“We’re simplifying the process for you to find specific posts here,” declared the official Threads account in a recent announcement. The enhancement enables users to narrow down their searches by profile and date range. To utilize this feature, just tap the menu on the right side of the search bar.

As stated in the announcement, the update is being distributed worldwide over the coming weeks. While some users might have access already, others may have to wait a little longer. “If you haven’t seen it yet, it will be available to you soon 🫶,” reassured the post.

This advancement comes at a time when users are departing from *X* (previously Twitter) en masse, as Elon Musk’s contentious choices continue to drive away its user base. Although many are transitioning to platforms such as Bluesky, Threads is not merely an empty space. Meta’s platform is actively striving to keep and draw in users by rolling out features that maintain an engaging and fresh experience.

While search capabilities might appear to be a fundamental feature for any social media platform, their introduction underscores Threads’ approach to mirror appealing functionalities from rivals like Bluesky and the fading presence of Twitter. Just recently, Threads indicated a potential adoption of Bluesky’s Starter Packs, a strategy that could further motivate users to engage with the platform. If that doesn’t encourage you to post on Threads, what will?
