Retweet Analysis

Hi all - looking for the communities help:

 

What Boolean search would return all retweets of an account?

 

For example, if I want to see who are the main retweeters of @Cristiano.

I have tried using (to:"Cristiano" AND postType:rp), however this also returns retweets of other accounts that have mentioned @Cristiano i.e. [RT] @Messi: On 23 May, @Cristiano.…

 

My mind isn’t working properly today :-(

 

Thanks

Happy Friday @Al_S , I asked @Josh Graham , and he said that “RT @cristiano”  will pull back all users who have RT’d content from that handle. 

 

Josh is Head of our Product Specialist and also shared that you can then use the Authors Tab or Author’s Segments to then further find top authoritative Twitter handles retweeting @cristiano 

 

Here’s the guide on how to do that - https://help.meltwater.com/en/articles/5048226-how-to-use-the-authors-tab-in-explore
