Twitter updates search options on site and tweaks Windows 8 app

Earlier today, Twitter announced on the company's official Twitter account that they are upgrading the search feature on their website.

Search update on http://t.co/eNvqKTup1d: See photos & accounts in results + recent searches & social context as you type your query. — Twitter (@twitter) August 1, 2013

So according to this tweet, as you search on Twitter, your suggested searches will show up in two categories. One, the saved searches you have previously done, and secondly, results of pictures, people and social context.While this is not expected to change a user's experience on the site, it should save some time and thought when you're searching for something or someone in specific.[caption id="attachment_1006121" align="alignleft" width="380"] Twitter logo is seen in this file photo. .

Users will now be able to sign in on multiple accounts at one time. Besides this, Twitter will also provide support for lists; yours as well as others.Twitter has recently been in the news for less than stellar reasons: a spate of bomb threats made against female journalists in the UK have led to outrage over the lack of policing on the website. Twitter, on its part, announced this week that they will launch a 'report abuse' button.
