Is it possible to exclude only French tweets from a Twitter advanced search engine?

To find only tweets in French, i use:

find this words lang:fr

But what if I want to exclude only French from the results and find all the others?

Solution

  • very easy, just put a minus - before the lang:fr operator to exclude it :-)

    find this words -lang:fr

    If i'm not mistaken all of Twitter's Advanced Search Operators, like filter:, near:, within:, include: and many more, can be negated to exclude results corresponding to the specific operator.
