How can this query be too complex?

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22for+sale+by+owner%22+near:%22fort+worth%22+within:100mi

It's a very simple geo-targeted query.

Has Search suffered a frontal lobotomy? These searches used to work
before.

 Post yourquery, perhaps?

 In general, no. You might have to combine two less complicated searches into
 a single set on your end rather than expecting the Search API to do it.

This is really a problem for us at http://streamd.in We're getting
this error pretty much anytime the user moves around in the map or
searches for something.
If the 2500km limit has changed it will be good to know what the new
way looks like.
It seems to me like a broken api when the devs don't know if a call
it's going to succeed or fail based on some internal decisions that is
not exposed in the documentation.
At this point we don't know what the fallback strategy should be for
these errors. Perhaps try multiple times until it works and have the
user waiting?
It does not feel right to get this kind of error and have to provide a
code workaround that degrades user experience and ends up sending more
request to your servers

 The issue is more than that, basically anything near:Australia is
 being blocked because the radius of australia is above the (i think)
 1349km radius that has been forced.

 So no terms that are near:Australia are working because of the fact
 that Australia is larger than your radius limits.

 Hi Nick,

 For scalability reasons, the search API will reject queries that are too
 computationally expensive/complex to service reasonably. You may need to
 refine the radius for that query to work. We're actively tweaking this
 algorithm, and I'll make sure the search team gets the feedback that a query
 like coffee near:australia is being determined too complex.
