Twitter Search lets you search status updates for relevant content, but it does not make it easy to search Twitter bios. Third-party websites, however, come in handy for just that. Many exist for the purpose, including three reliable methods, each with its own way of searching and displaying Twitter bios: the Twitter directory Twellow, the Twitter search and analysis website Follower Wonk, and Google. The lattermost is a lesser-known method.
