X advanced search

The best place to start is X’s advanced search feature. It has become more powerful than before, you can search anything tweeted, including images. Here’s how:

1. Visit the X website or open the X app on your mobile.
2. Enter your search query or hashtags related to the image into the search bar and search. E.g. #cat.
3. Click the three dots ‘More’ button and choose Search filters.
4. Toggle the filter you want and then select Advanced search.

Use Search this image bot

Actually, there is a reverse image search bot for tweeted images. Just reply to any Tweet with a mention ‘@searchthisimage’, and the bot will reply with relevant links to help you get more info about the image.

What you can find from the bot:

It provides you with the image source/creator and context. You can find the original source and information of the image so that misinformation and misunderstanding of the image can be stopped on X.

The limitation of the bot:

The bot is only for images, you can’t use it to search for videos. And it doesn’t support NSFW (stands for ‘not safe for work’ or ‘not suitable for work’) images. They’ll skip these requests.
