Symptom
In May 20, Chinese tweets were divided into different languages by Twitter search, and the search results of this language were rarely updated.
The approximate problem time starts from, January 1, May 20, Beijing time ~ , Which has not been solved so far.
Not only Chinese, but also Japanese and Thai languages are affected. Does Twitter search adjust the Asian language index?
Example
For example, click Search RT keywords in different languages:
Http://search.twitter.com/search? Q = RT & lang = is
Http://search.twitter.com/search? Q = RT & lang = it
Http://search.twitter.com/search? Q = RT & lang = de
There have been a lot of Chinese and Japanese news. In the past, although Chinese and Japanese are easy to mix, they are easy to separate from other languages.
Real Japanese search:
Http://search.twitter.com/search? Q = RT & lang = JA
The last update time is at, January 1, May 20, Beijing time.
The same is true for Chinese characters, which all have obvious problems:
Http://search.twitter.com/search? Q = RT & lang = ZH
It can also be seen that it is roughly, January 1, May 20, Beijing time ~ Starting from.
Impact
This issue affects playmates RT by Twitter search and cannot be automatically updated. Although it can be set to search in all languages, it is difficult to completely separate Chinese and Japanese, and the English retweets are very fast, so it is not possible to capture a full range of 中文.
