    I work for a company called Tegile Systems. Doing a twitter search on “tegile” returns a bunch of useless tweets from Indonesia. I guess that is a word in their dictionary. Is their way to use a NOT operator in the location search field? I am trying to create a search operator that returns tweets that include “tegile” AND “NOT from Indonesia”

    Any guidance is appreciated,
    Rob

    Hi Rob – For your specific search, I’d recommend using the “Filter by language” option and select ‘English’ from the dropdown menu. It’s not shown in the graphic above — we need to update the image to reflect all of the options. That will remove the extra unwanted tweets you mention.
