Naveen,
I saw a case with one of my searches this morning where a bit.ly url
appeared to have been expanded before Twitter Search matched on the
tweet. Tim Haines said this morning on Twitter he had seen something
similar.
So, for the first tweet:
$ curl -I "http://bit.ly/cMsa7U";
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
Server: nginx/0.7.42

The expanded bit.ly link contains 'SocialScope'.
