Is it possible to filter Twitter search results by the application used to post the tweet? For example, if I only wanted to see results from users using TweetDeck, or some other API...

Yes. You can use the source operator

inception source:tweetdeck

returns http://twitter.com/#search?q=inception%20source%3Atweetdeck

For more operators check the Search Operator List

  • I wanted to ask this question, too. Thanks @phwd. But, can it search only among those people I follow? I wonder if Twitter API allows us to draw a pie chart that shows which Twitter client has highest popularity.

  • @mgthantzin yeah right now I do not think there is anything that does that without going into the API by yourself. The closest app (searching within friends) is snapbird. Maybe you can try forking it.
