Threads’ next update is a search feature that finds the post you’re looking for

Threads is rolling out a search update globally over the next few weeks that will let users filter searches to a specific profile and within date ranges. The existing search built into Threads has been a basic keyword search to find trending topics, posts, or accounts, with “Top” and “Recent” sorting options.
The updated version adds a settings icon to the search bar that, when tapped, brings up “After date,” “Before date,” and “From profile” options.
I have the new filters enabled for my account already, and they seem to work as advertised.
The addition brings Threads closer to parity with competing platforms X and Bluesky, both of which support more advanced searching than this, but at least it’s a start.
