How to Get Twitter Results With Google

Google will search Twitter, but there is an add-on for the Firefox browser that makes seeing Twitter results much easier. The Twitter Search Results on Google add-on requires the installation of the Grease Monkey add-on first, but both are easy to install. Here is how.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Firefox browser

1. With the Firefox add-on, the first results for any search show real time results from Twitter before the normal search results list begins.

2. Before you can install the Firefox add-on, you must get the Grease Monkey add-on tools for Firefox (see link in Resources below). The add-on for Twitter search results on Google uses some of the JavaScript from the Grease Monkey tool set, so you need to install it first. Simply click the Add to Firefox button and it happens in seconds. You may have to restart Firefox.

3. Go to the userscripts site (see link in Resources) for the Twitter search results on Google add-on. Click the Install button and it's done.

4. Your next Google search will automatically display any results from Twitter that contain your search term.
