Now you have to be logged in to Twitter to be able to search

The public search box has disappeared

Twitter has made a change to its interface, which means that users now have to be logged in to the service in order to use Twitter's search function.

Previously, anyone could use the search function on Twitter's website. Now, the search box has disappeared for those who do not have an account on the service and have not logged in. If you go to Twitter.com without being logged in, a general feed appears that seems to be tailored to the country you are visiting the service from. However, if you click on a tweet in the feed, the search box appears again, but if you try to search for something, you are prompted to log in to the service.

Why Twitter has removed the public search functionality is something that Twitter, or the service's owner Elon Musk, has not yet commented on. However, I assume that it has to do with Twitter wanting more logged-in users, something that this change may lead to.

Above is Twitter.com for a non-logged-in user, and below is what it looks like if you have logged in to the service.
