Twitter's search just got a very important update

If you spend a lot of time on Twitter, then you know there are two things that are incredibly important: liberal emoji use and knowing how to put Twitter's search tool to good use. Now, the service's latest update brings those two things together.

Twitter now lets you use emoji characters in search. The update, first spotted by Emojipedia, is supported both on Twitter's website and apps.

With the change, you can search for specific emoji either in usernames or within the text of a tweet itself.
