The search index discovers candidate URLs; archived captures provide the page content that was actually saved. Both can be incomplete. Neither can restore a post that was never archived or prove the post’s current status.
Search a username or check a known URL
Enter a public username to discover indexed status pages, or paste a known post URL to check that specific status identifier. Username search is for discovery; direct lookup checks one known post. If you do not know the post identifier, start from the account search on the home page instead. If you already have the address, use the direct post lookup。
Search results come from the configured public index and are not a complete account timeline. Check the username spelling and try a known status URL when you have one. A no-result response means only that this query returned no matching entry.
Browse the returned archive captures
Open the archive list to inspect readable posts, timestamps, media, and context. Filter loaded content by text, media, post type, or capture date. When searching captures, the status URL and archive timestamp are different pieces of information. A capture timestamp records when the archive saved the page; the post date can be confirmed only when it appears in the saved page.
Open a candidate capture and check the account, status identifier, visible text, image preview, and full media file separately. Saving a page does not mean every asset was captured. Read the archive search guide for more on queries, timestamps, and duplicate entries.
Review sources and coverage
Check what the saved snapshot actually contains and keep the archive date distinct from the post publication date. If you need an organized record, review coverage before considering the one-time dossier. Describe only what you can inspect, such as “the index returned a status URL” or “the capture shows text but no video file.” Do not interpret a missing result as proof that a post never existed or was deleted.
If you need an export, first review the loaded coverage in the archive, then see the dossier contents and pricing. Each export contains up to 2,000 indexed records. Unread entries retain their index details and sources; missing content is not invented.
Sources and limits
Account search uses a third-party public index API; post content and media are read from public Wayback captures. The index and archive can be incomplete or temporarily unavailable. This tool does not fill gaps from the current X or Twitter platform and does not verify whether a post is live or deleted.
