[twitter-dev] How can I search Twitter for tweets containing an exact phrase

I need to search Twitter for tweets containing the phrase "$T" (T being the trading symbol for AT&T).

[twitter-dev] Re: parsing out entities from tweets (a.k.a. parsing out hashtags is hard!)

+1 for it being optional as well -- keep the bandwidth to a minimum for scenarios where it's not needed. +1 for having short URLs' original (long) URL provided (perhaps also an option?)
