Twitter is apparently developing a feature that would allow users to subscribe to push notifications for certain search phrases.
Users who have subscribed to a search phrase will receive notifications when new tweets containing that word or phrase are published.
Android developer Dylan Roussel spotted this feature in a pre-release version of the Twitter mobile app:
Twitter is working on a feature allowing you to subscribe to search results. Once subscribed, you'll receive push notifications for Tweets about your search query!

This feature is called Search Subscribe and it appears to be straightforward to use. Roussel’s tweet demonstrates how to set up notifications in two easy steps.
Enter a word or phrase in the search bar and press the right-hand bell symbol. After then, Twitter will display a notification informing you that you’ve been subscribed.
Roussel says he hasn’t yet received any notifications, so it’s unclear what the notifications will look like when the feature is released.
It’s also unclear how often the alerts will be sent
With regard to the importance of such a feature, on one hand, this may be a useful tool for keeping track of brand mentions. You can subscribe to tweets containing your company name and receive notifications as appropriate.
On the other hand, depending on how alerts are sent, if you subscribe to a word that is tweeted about dozens of times per minute, this may be an intrusive nightmare.
Will Twitter alert users to all tweets or just the most recent ones?
Perhaps Twitter will allow you to customize your notifications so that you can determine the frequency at which you want to receive them.
To find out for sure, we’ll have to wait till the feature is released. It’s now available on Twitter Alpha, which is generally reserved for programmers.
Hopefully, it will be made more widely available in a future update.
