Who this tool is for

The service is built for people who need to check a public post link, explore an account’s indexed post URLs, or review material preserved in a public web archive. This can include researchers checking a citation, journalists verifying a dated page, account owners looking for a public capture, or anyone trying to understand what an archived page contains.

How the search is assembled

Account searches query a configured public index service for status-page entries and cache index metadata for browsing. Post-page content and media are read from publicly available archived captures as the user browses. The index is a discovery layer; the archive snapshot is the page or file that can be inspected. Read How It Works for the step-by-step flow or browse the interface preview.

Limits we make explicit

Public indexes and archives can be incomplete. A returned URL does not guarantee readable text or media, and an absent result does not prove that a post never existed. A capture records what was saved at a particular time; it does not determine whether the post is currently live or deleted. Find Deleted Tweets cannot recreate a post or media file that was never captured.

The search index comes from a third-party public archive search API. The site uses that response to locate candidate pages and uses public archived snapshots to show material when available. The API is an upstream data source, not a guarantee of completeness or availability. The FAQ and our guides on missing captures and finding deleted tweets explain these boundaries in more detail.

Privacy and paid exports

Search requests use the username entered and a random browser-generated visitor identifier to process and cache index results. The site uses analytics and Stripe for checkout. See the Privacy page for more detail. A paid Archive Evidence Dossier is a one-time export of currently available public records; it organizes captured information but does not authenticate it or fill archive gaps.
