Search API missing Features

2008-11-02 Thread PockeTwitDev

It seems the search api is still lacking a few things to bring it in
line with the rest of the twitter api.  My first issue was the lack of
xml output.  I was able to write special handlers to use the atom
format instead, but it'd be nice for it to be consistant.

My second issue was the lack of any in_reply_to_status_id information
on the results.  I was trying to recreate a conversation by searching
for responses @thefirstuser and looking at their in_reply_to_status_id
to see if they were answers to the original question.  Unfortunately,
that seems impossible with the current implementation.

Thank you for the product and API, I look forward to seeing how it
grows in the future.

Those are both gaps we hope to address in the next major release of
the API.  Thanks for your feedback!
