w43L / blog: Enabling twitter integrated search in syria

If you use twitter in Syria you may have noticed that the “integrated search” (you know the one on the sidebar under the retweets word) does not work, it does not give you an error, just a dull response, nothing happens …
well here is how to enable it:

-what you are going to need is:

1. firefox

2. foxy proxy addon

3. an IP & port of a proxy server (which definitely you have :) )

-here is what you have to do:

1. install foxy proxy firefox extension (if not already installed)

2. press ctrl+f2 which will bring foxyproxy options dialog

3. click the add new proxy button and enter the proxy ip and port

4. there is a tab called URL patterns , click on it and click on add new pattern

5. add a new pattern with the name you like and his URL pattern *integratedsearch.twitter.com/*

6. save everything and try to search on the twitter page

for any problems contact me @w43L, salam
