Exclude replies from official twitter search widget

Question

I have a twitter search-widget on my site with the following search: from:account_name. But it now shows my twitterstream with all the replies to. I want to exclude those from the list.

Does anyone know how to do that? After searching there are a lot options with the REST-api but I just need it for the search-string.

Answer 1

I found an option to include retweets include:retweets so I tried to change that to exclude:replies and it worked!

My search-string is now: from:account_name exclude:replies
