How To

1. How to search for word group: To search google developers club, pass '"google developers club"'

   • Pass keywords wrapped around double quotes
   • What signle quotes do is consider "google developers club" as a string
   • Double quotes are for internal recognition of grouping

2. How to search for multiple words: To search tweets containing node and express

   • If we want both hashtags: node AND express or node express
   • If we want any hashtag (or both): node OR express

3. How to search exclude word: To search tweets containing mongo and exclude mysql

   • If we want to exclude word mysql pass: mongo -mysql

4. How to search for multiple hashtags:
   To search tweets containing #javascript and #webdev

   • If we want both hashtags: #javascript AND #webdev or #javascript #webdev
   • If we want any hashtag (or both): #javascript OR #webdev

Note: If you write @username in search_keywords it will give you tweets in which user was mentioned.
