I've been seeing this problem for the last couple of weeks too. I
thought I was going crazy.
Most of the time when I do a search with since_id, it returns zero
results. My searches always include to:screenname in addition to
since_id. For example:
With since_id: curl http://api.twitter.com/1/search.json?
since_id=5627135528q=to%3APogue
result:
{
results: [],
max_id: 5637056671,
since_id: 5627135528,
refresh_url: ?since_id=5637056671q=to%3APogue,
results_per_page: 15,
page: 1,
completed_in: 0.012596,
query: to%3APogue
}
Without since_id: curl http://api.twitter.com/1/search.json?q=to
%3APogue
(notice that the ids are higher than the since_id I passed in):
result:
{
results: [{

etc. etc. etc.
[ ... snip ... ]
My only workaround is to ignore the results I've already seen before
but no one wins--Twitter has to send me more results and I have to
process more results.
A fix soon would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I think a few people including myself have seen this. Best guess is
that it's a caching issue on the twitter server side. Here are some

Hi,
I've been noticing some strange behaviour since last night - but
that's not to say it's not been going on longer.
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=JournoTwitrpp=100since_id=5...
Performing this search turns up 0 results when it should show 4.
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=JournoTwitrpp=100since_id=
Run it with nosince_idand it works. Then straight away run the
original query...
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=JournoTwitrpp=100since_id=5...
And you get the expected 4 results.
What's going on?
