**Twitter Adds Predictive Search Feature**
(Musk: Twitter will support predictive search)
Twitter announced a new predictive search function today. This feature suggests possible search terms as users start typing into the search bar. The goal is helping people find relevant content faster on the platform.
Elon Musk confirmed the update. He stated this improvement directly addresses user requests for a more efficient search experience. Finding tweets, topics, or accounts should become simpler.
The predictive search works instantly. Suggestions appear in a drop-down menu below the search box. These suggestions are based on popular searches, trending topics, and accounts a user follows. The system learns from real-time activity across Twitter.
This feature aims to reduce the time users spend typing full queries. It also helps users discover new conversations or accounts related to their interests. Twitter believes this will increase overall engagement.
The technology behind the feature relies heavily on Twitter’s existing algorithms. These algorithms analyze vast amounts of data about user behavior and trending content. The predictive function is an extension of this core technology.
Twitter plans to roll out the predictive search globally. The update will be available for both the Twitter website and its mobile apps. Users on iOS and Android devices will see the feature soon. The update requires no action from users; it will simply appear.
