Twitter Search - Optimized to follow new people

Following the latest update in twitter, it has changed the way it searches for the twitter users making it easier to search people to follow.

With this, you can search people who used to twit regarding regarding the topics of your interest on the micro-blogging site. For example, a search for World Cup 2011 will yield MS Dhoni, Sachin, Yuvraj and others under the People results in the sidebar. You can also get further suggestions by clicking on the People tab on the left-hand side search results where you can also browse recent tweets about the queried topic.

Previously, people results used a far simpler algorithm from twitter showing people and accounts to follow based on keywords, but this new update is practical and will prove useful with time to most of the users.

Though it is a relatively small and obvious move, but it's yet another addition to Twitter's web interface that makes third-party tools for performing the same task a little less relevant and very convenient.
