Threads Introduces Advanced Search Filters to Compete with Rivals

The Meta-owned platform now allows users to refine searches by profile and date range as it seeks to retain users against growing competition from Bluesky and X.

Threads is rolling out a new search feature globally, enabling users to filter posts by profile, 'After date,' and 'Before date.'
Previously limited to basic keyword searches, Threads' update aims to improve search precision and usability.
The feature is being released incrementally over the next few weeks, with some users already gaining access.
Meta's Threads faces increasing competition from Bluesky, which has rapidly grown to 24 million users as X continues to lose users.
Other recent Threads updates include custom following feeds and algorithmic adjustments to prioritize posts from followed accounts.
