[twitter-dev] Re: Search API Query Limitation (140 characters?)
If you need to search specific users why don't you use the Shadow API and grab all of their tweets and then search them locally?

Hello, The limit is indeed 140 and most likely won't be going up any time soon. The reason for the limit is for performance reasons. In order to do timely queries we don't allow for longer/arbitrary queries which could be very complex. -Chad On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 3:08 PM, zapnap wrote: > > (this could be overcome, I suppose, by performing multiple queries, > but that isn't much of a solution if you want to use the stock twitter > js search widget, etc) > > On Sep 27, 11:37 am, zapnap wrote: >> Search API queries appear to be limited to 140 characters.

(this could be overcome, I suppose, by performing multiple queries, but that isn't much of a solution if you want to use the stock twitter js search widget, etc) On Sep 27, 11:37 am, zapnap wrote: > Search API queries appear to be limited to 140 characters.
