Hi Yusuke,
Unfortunately the "source:" operator as it is currently
implemented has a few shortcomings. One is that it requires a query,
and the second is that it can only search the last 7 days. This is a
known performance issue and we're still looking for a way we can
remove the restriction. I'll talk to Doug about updating the docs.
Thanks;

Hi,
Today I noticed that my Twitter4J automated testcase for the search
API started to fail.
query: "thisisarondomstringforatestcase" returns 1 tweet.
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=thisisarondomstringforatestcase
But query: "source:web thisisarondomstringforatestcase" returns 0
tweet despite that the above tweet was posted via web.
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=source%3Aweb+thisisarondomstringforatestcase
It used to be returning one single tweet.
Is there any problem with the search API?
Best regards,
Yusuke
