Proper syntax for Twitter Favorite tool?

Twitter Marketing
#1

Hey folks,

Just want to make sure I have this setup correctly. For the Twitter Favorite tool, if I want to favorite tweets that use certain hashtags, I add the actual hashtag to the keyword correct? So it would appear like (please ignore brackets as I have to use them to make the hashtag show here):

(#)podcast, (#)washingtonDC, etc. etc

And so then I assume that if i use words without hashtags, it’s just looking for tweets containing those words in general, and not as hashtags?

Is there a primer for the syntax for this tool?

Thanks in advance

“keyword” will match any tweet containing keyword or the hashtag #keyword
“#keyword” will match any tweet containing the hashtag #keyword

Same syntax as shown at the top of the advanced search results page.

For example:

one.png926×1070 42.8 KB

results in:

two.png1228×930 338 KB

while:

three.png995×930 39.6 KB

results in:

four.png1007×930 342 KB

Sorry just to clarify, I can enter all of that info into the MP Twitter tool as well just as shown?

So if I want to like Tweets that contain #Marijuana within 15 miles of Toronto, I would enter it into massplanner exactly how?

#marijuana lang:en near:“Toronto, Ontario, Canada” within:15mi

I assume the quotes cancels out the commas so it knows that it is ‘still going’ ?

So if I wanted to add say a very vague hashtag to the favorite tool after that one would I do the following?

#marijuana lang:en near:“Toronto, Ontario, Canada” within:15mi, #weedsmokers

Yes.

I think you have it correct in your post but the # character has special meaning in this editor - it makes text bold, so it disappears when entered in a post unless handled properly.

If you want only the tweets that contain the hashtag #marijuana, but not the word marijuana, written in English near Toronto you would enter
#marijuana lang:en near:"Toronto, Ontario, Canada" within:15mi

If you want the tweets that contain the hashtag #marijuana or the word marijuana written in English near Toronto you would enter
marijuana lang:en near:"Toronto, Ontario, Canada" within:15mi

Thanks @Johnny for the link to the article.
