I searched for myself (@tessa) on TweetDeck in a column adjacent to my “Mentions” tab and noticed that the list of tweets generated by the search was inconsistent between columns. The search tab only showed tweets that mentioned @tessa (lowercase “t”) and not the tweets that mentioned @Tessa (uppercase “t”).
Beware for those of you monitoring yourself or brands! Be sure to compensate by using all possible case combinations.
Hi Tessa, we've had a look into this straight away and the reason joshcaza's tweet did not appear in the search column is actually a bug with twitter search (which is where TweetDeck get's the search results from) rather than an issue with TweetDeck. Interestingly twitter search does not contain ANY tweets from joshcaza (you can try this yourself by going to http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Ajoshcaza) hence why his tweet, which just so happens to use an upper case T but which is in fact a red herring, does not show in the search column.
