Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Search Twitter Feed from a group of Twitters
There are no "search within a set" capabilities really in the Twitter API or Search API. There are a few approaches you can take, but all of them defer the "search" part of operation to you and you'll have to accept that you'll not have the full possible dataset to search against. One popular way to search within a given set of users is to assemble a Twitter List containing the users of interest, paginate through the List timeline as your needs (and the data supply) allows, and then perform the search against the tweets/metadata retrieved, acknowledging that a list doesn't comprise all of the tweets (or any of the retweets) authored by the users on the list (@replies / tweets beginning with a @mention to users not belonging to the list are excluded). Other methods are retrieval of various (user) timelines, merging them together, then searching against. The most efficient way to collect tweets for a given set of public users when historical tweets are not important is to use the "follow" feature of the Streaming API.

Thanks. I looked at it but It just allows me to search for twitter feed from one user. I want to be able to search for twitter feed from multiple users at once.
