What to do if you are removed from Twitter search results

If you find yourself removed from Twitter search, Twitter recommends you visit their help centre before contacting its support team.
Some other reasons you may have a low or even no visibility in Twitter's search result could include the following; we suggest you work through these issue's then do some troubleshooting at Twitters help centre before contacting their support team:
1.) If you have just set up your account it will take a few days to be indexed. Be patient.
2.) Twitter gives search result preference to users with a complete name, username, and bio in their profile. Make sure your profile is completed.
3.) Twitter includes those with the best reputations in their search. To be considered the best you will need to interact with other users, chatting to them, sharing their content and in return getting your content shared. You need to be consistent and conscientious.
Although you may not be seen in the search results, you will be seen in a timeline if you @ reply that person/company. However, until your visibility is resolved your @ reply will not be seen in Twitter's search results.
Twitter is not doing this to make your life harder. They are trying to create a pleasant environment for their users. Twitter has filters in place which will remove content they do not feel is of good quality. Being vulgar, harassing people or just being unsavoury can also get you removed from the search results.
If you have been filtered out of Twitter search results and you are not an offender of any of the above please let us know in the comments below.
