Twitter bio search

Find X accounts by the words in their bio, name or handle, see their follower counts, and download the list as a CSV. No X account needed.

About 42 credits for up to 40 accounts, from your free Weir credits (5,000 a month, no card).

How to get good results

Two or three plain words work best: a job title and a field (“data journalist”), a role and a city (“founder lisbon”), or a product category. X matches them against names, handles and bios together, so a single common word returns a mix of both. Each result shows the bio in full and a bio match marker when every word is in the bio itself.

The CSV holds the handle, name, user id, follower and following counts, post count, verified flag, join date, location, bio and profile link, which is enough to sort and filter in a spreadsheet. The Twitter bio search guide shows how to page past 40 accounts from Python, and find influencers on X and find customers on Twitter turn a search like this into a repeatable process.

What it will not do

It cannot filter by follower count or location at X's end, because X's people search has no such filters; sort the CSV instead. It also cannot read private accounts beyond their public profile. To look up one account rather than search for many, the ID finder is cheaper.

Questions

What does the Twitter bio search look at?

The same index as X's own People tab: display names, handles and bios, ranked by X. The tool marks the accounts whose bio holds every word you typed, so you can tell a bio match from a name match at a glance.

How many accounts does it return?

Up to 40 a run, two pages of X's people search. For hundreds of accounts, the bio search guide has a Python script that pages further and filters bios into a CSV.

Can I search bios by location?

Add the place as a word: "founder berlin" finds accounts with both words in the name or bio. Bios are free text, so people who wrote "BER" or nothing at all will not match. The location search guide covers the other ways to narrow by place.

Is it a Followerwonk alternative?

For the bio search part, yes. Followerwonk's site says its tools now live inside Fedica. This tool does one thing, searching names, handles and bios and exporting the result, and it is free with a Weir account.

Why does it need an account?

It reads live results from X, which costs a little per account returned, so it runs on your free monthly credits: 5,000 a month, no card. A run uses about 42 credits.

Does it find private people?

It returns whatever X's public people search returns, which can include individuals. Use it to find accounts to follow or contact, not to build lists of private people.
