Optionally prevent the standard search API from searching in screen names and user mentions
The standard search API is somehow regarding screen name as part of text body and therefore is also searching in screen names. That can cause the search results to contain irrelevant tweets. For example, searching the word "nature" can return @human_nature's tweets whose text bodies don't contain the word "nature".
A similar issue applies to user mentions. For example, searching the word "nature" can return tweets which contain user mention @human_nature and don't contain the word "nature".
Please consider implementing an option which prevents the standard search API from searching in screen names and user mentions. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! This is something that we have previously also heard from other developers. I will make sure to pass this on to our Product team for consideration.
