Hi,
Is searching for users by topical interest supported with v2 API like in v1.1

No, in v2 there is no user search, but with academic access, you can set a streaming rule to filter on bio: Filtered stream - How to build a rule | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform when capturing tweets live

Thanks for your help. This way I will get all tweets from users that their bio match the query.
What is the differences between using v1.1 search users and streaming using Academic track with bio matching. Is there any benefits? kindly advise

Sure, i was meant to get back earlier but your post got lost in the queue…

v1.1 User Search is not a complete index, and is an older API - it’s no longer supported. It also searches for users in the past - that may or may not be active.

Bio matching with Streaming API in v2 approach will match on users that tweet - so if a user did not tweet when you were streaming you would not get that tweet in the stream.
