How To Search Keywords on Twitter From Any Website (Without an Account)

Be honest. How often do you search for a specific trend, topic, or person on Twitter before you trust Google? It makes sense. On Google, you know that you’re going to get posts from random blogs that are optimized to show up in search results. With Twitter, at least you’re dealing with real people and their opinions — well, except for the errant bot. But constantly switching back and forth between Twitter and wherever else you are on the web adds up to a lot of clicks. What if there was a way to automatically search Twitter keywords or search text from a webpage on Twitter in fewer clicks without using Twitter and SemRush? Better yet, what if you could do it without a Twitter account?

There is a way, and it’s PixieBrix. Here’s why.

Why PixieBrix is the best way to search Twitter without an account

Sure, you can always go to Twitter and use the search bar there. But is that the most efficient way to do it? Imagine if you had a way to highlight text from any webpage, right-click on it, and automatically search it on Twitter — no Twitter account necessary. That’s pretty useful if you’re, say:

• A journalist who frequently needs to source Tweets for news stories.
• A social media manager who needs to stay on top of trends to create content for your work.
• A recruiter who wants to check on an applicant’s social media presence.

So how do you search up topics and people on Twitter from anywhere on the web without a Twitter account?

With PixieBrix.

PixieBrix is a low-code platform you can use to build Chrome mods that customize your online experience, automate manual work, and more. You can use premade mods from the PixieBrix marketplace to start automating your work in minutes, or combine individual actions — called bricks — to build your own mod. No coding required.

That makes PixieBrix the best way to get more out of Twitter.

Hide the What's Happening sidebar on Twitter

If you use Twitter as part of your job, you know full well that the What’s Happening sidebar is constantly trying to draw you in. No matter how focused you are, one click is all it takes for you to spend hours just mindlessly scrolling through Twitter. With this mod, you can easily hide that sidebar whenever you go on Twitter and get some of your focus back.

Here's how this mod works.

Sticky notes sidebar

Are you the type of person who relies on a massive infrastructure of sticky notes, note-taking apps, and scrawled sentences on bits of paper? What if you could take notes right from the website that’s sparking all those ideas? This mod from PixieBrix creates a sidebar you can access anywhere on the web that lets you take and save notes about specific websites.
