First, your query string isn't a valid search API query string.  Copying and pasting from advanced search is frowned upon.

If you strip it down to the basics of what you're trying to do you end up with this

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:gp04lch&since=2010-03-01&rpp=15

Note that 

1) You need to supply a content type for the query

2) You can't have a "within" on the API, look at the doc http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method:-search and use the geocode param

3) Blank parameters generally aren't a good idea

4) The "from" operator doesn't work in the API, instead use from:<user> in the query

Even after all that there does appear to be a bug in the search API, as I get the result

{"error":"Couldn't find Status with ID=9796641788"}

I'll let that team know.

thank you. this is the search string i'm using:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from:gp04lch&rpp=5000&since_id=0&callback=?&rpp=20

i went through the API and noticed it states that results are limited
to 7 days. is there a way to get results earlier than the 7 days?

The current search corpus duration is limited to about 7 to 14 days. The search team is working on increasing the duration.
