Well-known Digital Marketing Agency, Launching around eight and a half years ago and now claiming to have 284 million monthly active users, Twitter has opened up its whole catalogue of messages to a search engine. This means that its entire content, around 500 billion documents, is available to sift through online.
Twitter engineer Yi Zhuang wrote: "Since that first simple tweet over eight years ago, hundreds of billions of tweets have captured everyday human experiences and major historical events. Our search engine excelled at surfacing breaking news and events in real time, and our search index infrastructure reflected this strong emphasis on 'recency'.”
He continued: "But our long-standing goal has been to let people search through every tweet ever published. We [have] built a search service that efficiently indexes roughly half a trillion documents and serves queries with an average latency of under 100ms."
