I occasionally see people wondering how to search their Twitter stream, or anybody's Twitter stream for that matter. Sure, you can easily search all of twitter for something, but what about limiting a search to a particular user? Twitter's search features are pretty hit or miss for such specific searches, so as long as the account being searched is public and accessible to anyone, Google will have indexed it much more efficiently than Twitter.
So... I would try to explain how to use Google to restrict a search to a particular website or even part of a website. That wasn't working so well. So I just made a website that does it for you - Search a Peep's Tweets. It even remembers your most recent searches for you.
As a comparison, I used Twitter's advanced search to search my Twitter account (stoptime) for "beer" - I get no results. The same search on Google gives me 10 results. So hopefully this'll be useful and easy, cheers!
