    Please can someone help me with this. I am trying to search twitter for a specified keyword and only return tweets from people I am not already following. I can find no way of doing this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    On the top of your search window you will see options for what tweets they show you. Press "People you Follow".

    That doesn't answer my question, I know how to search people I follow, what I was to do is search only people I don't follow.

    I think he misunderstood what you were asking about. I was going to say the same thing.
    In the same line with the text "People you Follow" there's an option to select "all", and that will give you all the search results across twitter. I hope this helps.

    That still doesn't answer my question. I ONLY want to search people I am NOT following. I'm trying to search for new people to follow in my sector but every time I search I get people I'm following showing up and I am following a lot of people. If I could only search people i'm not following it would be much easier. Thanks.

    This is as advanced as twitter's official search let's you get. https://twitter.com/search-advanced
    You can try looking for 3d party software to help you out with your desired search, but the truth is that most don't provide the option of filtering tweets by users.
