Can you post the exact URL you're using? The one posted fails because the
query is longer than 140 characters. Trimming it to a single term succeeds.
This may be due to the fact that your ID is older than two weeks, and is
therefore unknown to search. You could try using since=date instead and
No timelines support since, only since_id. If you're specifying a since
parameter it's being ignored. If you're specifying since_id with a value of
20 it's effectively meaningless, as tweet ID 20 is years old.

In terms of this change, you need to separate Twitter Search from the
Twitter Search API in your minds.
Do with Twitter Search (the web interface) what you like. Make popular
the default if you want.
But, don't decide on behalf of the developers (the consumers of the
Twitter Search API)
FWIW, twttr.HOVERCARD.disable() does exactly what you'd guess. It

Newline is a logical concept generally materialized as a CRLF. The pair of
characters is a newline.
Generally you don't need to look for the newline, if you can set your TCP
socket timeout to some small multiple of the keepalive time, perhaps 60 or
90 seconds, you should get this for free.

+1 to Cameron and funkatron. Making this default, even with a

API versioning is such that old stuff does not break. And yes,
changing behavior so that results returned to same query are suddenly
different is definitely
+1 for asking for keeping the default as it is right now (should be
