Twitter Bio Search
Sorsa Twitter Bio Search finds X accounts by the words in their bios: a job title, a city, a niche or a company.
People whose bio, name or location holds your words appear here, with their followers and links.
One to three words work best: a role and a place, or a role and a niche.
How to search Twitter bios
Type the words people use about themselves, such as a job title and a city, and press Search bios. Sorsa Twitter Bio Search finds the accounts whose bio, name or location holds your words, and shows each one with its followers, location and website.
- 1Write it like a bioOne to three words: a role and a place (realtor miami), a role and a niche (founder saas) or a title in quotes ("data scientist").
- 2SearchIt runs on X’s people search. If X finds nobody with every word, the search tries fewer words and says which ones it used.
- 3Narrow and exportFilter by followers, location, verified, website, open DMs or account age, then download the list as CSV.

X’s people search vs bio search
X has no bio filter. Its People tab matches your words in names, handles and bios at once and ranks the accounts its own way.
X’s People tab
- Mixes names, handles and bios
- No follower, location or website filters
- No export
Sorsa Twitter Bio Search
- Marks where your words are: bio, name or location
- Filters for followers, location, verified, website, open DMs and age
- CSV of the first 20, every page through the API
A Google search such as site:x.com "data scientist" finds only the profiles Google happens to have indexed, with no follower counts and no filters.

}Questions about Twitter bio search
Searching bios
How do I search Twitter bios?
Type one to three words people would use about themselves, such as founder saas or realtor miami, and press Search bios. Sorsa Twitter Bio Search shows the X accounts whose bio, name or location holds the words, with their followers, location and website.
Why did my search find nobody?
X’s people search needs each word somewhere in a profile, so three or more words, or a whole sentence, often match nobody. Use fewer words, a job title in quotes, or OR between synonyms. When X finds nobody, the page offers shorter searches you can run in one tap.
Can I use AND, OR and NOT?
Yes. Words side by side must all appear; OR gives choices (developer OR engineer); NOT or a minus leaves out profiles with a word (founder -crypto); quotes keep a phrase together ("head of marketing"). Keep it short: X’s people search answers simple searches best.
Does it search only the bio?
It searches where people describe themselves: the bio, the display name and the location. Each result marks where your words were found, so a realtor whose city sits in the location field still shows up.
Can I search bios in other languages?
Yes. Type the words as people write them, such as periodista, ingénieur or エンジニア. Words in Latin script match whole words; words in Chinese or Japanese match inside the text.
The results
Why don’t I see every account with this word?
X’s people search ranks accounts and returns about 20 a page. The free search reads the first three pages and keeps those that match, and bigger accounts tend to come first. Sorsa API reads every page of the same search.
Can I filter by followers or location?
Yes, after the search: followers, location, verified, website, open DMs and account age narrow the list on screen, with no new search.
Can I export the results?
Download the first 20 accounts as CSV right here. Every account a search finds, page after page, comes through Sorsa API, from $0.07 per 1,000 accounts.
Does it show email addresses or phone numbers?
No. X doesn’t make them public, and the tool shows only what a profile shows: an email someone typed into their own bio appears as part of that bio.
Can I use the results for outreach?
Everything here is public profile information. Reach out one person at a time with a message that fits them.
Followerwonk and the API
Is this a Followerwonk alternative?
For bio search, yes: type words, see the matching accounts with their followers and links, filter and export, free and with no sign-up. Followerwonk now lives inside Fedica, where account search comes with a paid plan.
What happened to Followerwonk?
Moz bought Followerwonk in 2012 and sold it in 2017 to a company formed by one of its original developers. Its tools now run inside Fedica: followerwonk.com sends you there to sign up, and account search starts on Fedica’s Grow plan.
Is it free?
Yes. Search, filter and download the first 20 accounts as CSV with no sign-up. For every page of a search, Sorsa API gives you 100 free requests, up to 2,000 accounts.
How do I search Twitter bios with an API?
Send POST /search-users with your words in query and your key in the ApiKey header. Each answer holds about 20 accounts with full profiles and a next_cursor for the next page. No X developer account and no OAuth.
Turn bio searches into lead lists
Every page of a search, each profile with its bio, followers and links, in one table: 1,000 accounts from $0.07 through Sorsa API.
