I think the issue is you can only get as granular as a day, not an hour.

Raza,
Twitter search only gives since: and until: operators granularity at the day level. Any parsing on more specific (hour, day, second) timeframes is left to the client.

Thanks,
Doug

Hello,

    The maximum allowed value is 100. Check out the documentation at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method%3A-search

Thanks;
