Hello group, I have a problem with one single url:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3AMMFlint
I integrated that json flow in my app but since about one week the
"results" array stays empty. I was trying to find info about limits,
valid dates, etc but there is nothing about that on the json api page.
Can somebody help me with that issue ? What am I doing wrong ?


Thanks in advance

That is because there are no results to return: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3AMMFlint

Thank you for your answer. There are no results indeed. But why ? I
don't understand the logic. Normally on twitter.com/mmflint there are
tweets, and rss feed is full too. Am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks for help.

But doesn't answer how to deal with that problem. My app is already
live and it sucks. The twitter section is empty now. How can I correct
that ? Should I forgot about search api and connect my app directly to
the rss feed for that account ? Please please give me some
suggestions.

Thanks

if you are only searching for a particular user, then using the search
API is not the recommended way to do it -- especially because search
does not index everything. either, do as you said, and just use the
RSS feed for that user or use the streaming API.
