Meta's Threads Begins Limited Testing of 'Recent' Search Filter

The new feature aims to improve real-time search capabilities, addressing previous user complaints about outdated information.

Meta's social platform Threads is conducting a limited test of a new 'Recent' search filter to enhance real-time search results.
The feature, confirmed by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, is currently available to a select group of users.
Previous attempts to introduce similar features were hindered by concerns over safety and the potential for spam.
The 'Recent' filter is designed to prioritize newer posts, although it does not offer a strictly chronological order.
Users have expressed a need for more timely search results, especially for live events and current news.
