    Is there a way to search the profiles of Twitter users? When I use Twitter's search (or other Twitter tools I've tried), I only get their realtime posts returned. I'd like to actually search the profiles that are on the upper right of the home Twitter page.

    I'm sorry, but I looked at TweetGrid's search materials and search.twitter.com and, from what I can tell, neither of these let you search profiles. Remember I want to search profiles (or bios) not tweets.

    Thx for the response. I will check these out. What I want to do is actually search the profiles not just look at them. In other words, I want to find users that have word x in their profile.
