As Twitter continues to grow, so do the lists of friends (or “followings”) and followers people are accumulating. We’ve had a few people run into a limit in our Twellow search that prevented people with large numbers of friends and followers from searching within those lists.

With this in mind we’ve analyzed our systems and increased the limit to 524,288. This number should cover the vast majority of our users. For those with more followers or friends than this, we’ll keep an eye on system performance to see if this limit can be increased in the future.

Happy Searching!
