Which tweet did they favorite?
October 19, 2018 8:02 PM

I met someone great last year (via twitter), because I looked at their profile after they favorited a tweet of mine. We're both trying to figure out what it is, but can't remember! Is there a faster way to see which of my tweets they've favorited, beyond manually scrolling through their list of favs?

I don't know the exact answer for you (though I would if you were looking for something your friend retweeted), but what you want is likely one of the many Advanced Twitter Search hacks. Try A Complete Guide to Searching Twitter or The Ultimate Guide to Twitter Advanced Search.

I've an avid Twitter user and I don't know of any way to do this. If you can remember a word in the tweet, you can do a search on your timeline. Let's say you recall it mentioned "kale" - in the search box you'd type: kale from:raihan_ and then make sure you you click the tab "latest" to see every single one in order. By default, it will be on the "top" tab which tries to give you the most popular tweets first and, depending how many results there are, it will filter some out entirely. If you remember when it happened, you can add a range, i.e. kale from:raihan_ since:2012-01-01 until:2014-10-06. Then you can check the likes on each tweet.
