[twitter-dev] search api results down by a factor of ten since Jan 15, 2010

[mikiobraun]

Hello,

you may have heard of twimpact.com. We are using the search api to get
a filtered list of retweets only. We have just noticed that since
January 15, 2010, about midnight UTC, the volume of results returned
by the search API (JSON format) has gone down by about a factor of
ten.

I would like to ask whether this decrease is somehow connected to the
suggested migration to the streaming API, or whether it's just us.

Our system's user agent begins with twimpact/1.0, just in case.

Best,

Mikio Braun

At least, it's pretty straightforward to have a link to the web
interface with some text already pasted in. All people have to do then
is to hit the update button. The advantage is that you don't need
the user's login credentials... .

For example, http://twitter.com/home?status=Your%20Text
