The geo field is only set if the status was sent using the geo tagging
API. I'd using the search API and the geocode parameter, then a series
of other techniques are applied to find tweets near that location (a
user's profile location, amongst others).
I encourage you to tweet something using the geotagging API, and then
search for it so you can understand how geo floats through the Twitter
system.

Seems like you are right, both searches are returning results normally
now.
Yet, in both searches all the results are coming with the "geo" field
empty. Actually, I dont think Ive ever seen any result with this "geo"
field non-empty.
Problem is: what I need to do, once I get the results from within São
Paulo, is to present each tweet on google maps component based on its
exactly location. How am I supposed to do that? Inst the "geo" field
supposed to hold the geo location of the tweet? Or do I have to
perform another query to get this location?
Im still kinda clueless here, and will apreciate any help. Thanks.

Both of those links work fine for me. Maybe it was just a temporary

Hi all,
If been using the search API for some months for various projects
and
now Ive been asked to code an app that is supposed to search for a
specific word within the city of São Paulo and display the resul
ts on
google maps using the tweet location.
After reading the Search API docs (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-
Search-API-Method%3A-search), I understood (perhaps wrongly) that Im
supposed to search like this, for example:
http://search.twitter.com:80/search.json?q=festa&geocode=-23.55,-46.6
...
What Im trying here: Im searching for the word "festa" providing the
location of the center of São Paulo (according to wikipedia) and an
arbitrary radius. As I understood, this is supoposed to return
geotagged tweets with the word "festa" from within the provided geo
range. Right?
However, Ive tried searching like this using Zend_Twitter PHP class
and pasting this URL directly to the browser. In both cases, I get
this error:
error: "Couldn't find Status with ID=6025096957"
Whats it means? What am I doing wrong here? I probably missing
something, but I just cant figure it out.
Actually, even when I try the URL provided as example (http://
search.twitter.com/search.atom?
geocode=40.757929%2C-73.985506%2C25km)
on the docs, I get this same message .
So, how am I supposed to be doing this? Please help.
