How to search for a Twitter user’s most liked (favorited) and/or retweeted tweets in your web browser

In today’s day and age, Twitter — and social media as a whole — literacy is increasingly turning from just an asset to a must; whether that is for better or for worse can be the subject of another article.

A common search that users may want to do is to find out what another user’s most popular tweets are. There are two main measures this can be captured by: likes and retweets.

How to do so is not immediately straightforward (and there’s a little bit of art to the science), so this article will serve as a quick reference.

Method 1: URL search

Get most liked (favorited) tweets

Put this into your browser’s URL address bar.

https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Anatgeo%20min_faves%3A10000&src=typed_query

Here, natgeo is the username, and 10000 is the number of the minimum amount of likes that tweets should have to show up in the search.

This is where the art comes in. You can then adjust that min_faves variable up or down depending on whether you want to get more results or narrow them down.
