I was looking at advanced twitter search page because I needed to search for tweets posted by specific source. Also I found this description on twitter help without any details on how to use it in search: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/how-to-tweet#source-labels
Also a link to list of common third-party sources: https://partners.twitter.com/en/find-a-partner.html
Then I found Twitter search home page with a list of operators can be used in search including tweet source.
To search for tweets by specific source add source:
to your search keywords
news source:TwitterFeed Search for tweets containingnews

To exclude source add -
before source
:
news -source:TwitterFeed Search for tweets containingnews
and not entered viaTwitterFeed
To reveal tweet source on desktop browser (web) add m.
in URL before twitter.com

If you want to Analysis sources from one account you can use tools like:
If you are interested in manipulating the source you can use Tweepy API but this will required a twitter developer account.
