[twitter-dev] Re: What is included In the "Queries are limited 140 URL encoded characters." restriction?

Continuing to go it along with the Advanced Search Tool to see what
defines the "query" and length of 140 chars. Latest try resulted in
the following response from the tool:

"You must enter a query. "

This is the query I entered from using the advanced search tool:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=&ands=12345678901234567890&phrase=12345678901234567890&ors=12345678901234567890&nots=12345678901234567890&tag=12345678901234567890&lang=en&from=&to=&ref=&near=&within=15&units=mi&since=&until=&rpp=15


I used order groups of 20 digits to examine the length -
12345678901234567890.
