I'm trying to do some searches via the API and I have it working for straight strings but when I try the emoticon syntax described here (http://search.twitter.com/operators) for attitude I get this back from the API: code":17,"message":"No user matches for specified terms"
e.g. "Twitter :)" returns the above message. I've tried to encode it via javascript before sending (encodeURI or encodeURIComponent) but it does not help. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
