Hi Ron,
I left a comment on your blog explaining the answer to your question,
but maybe it didn't go through.
A while ago it was decided to remove trending bots/accounts from
search results because they really did clutter the results. One of my
bots/accounts was removed as well, and you're correct, the traffic
does drop off tremendously because of it.
After the first silencing of the bots another group of trend bots
popped up and have since been silenced as well. I guess thumbfight
was a victim of the last go 'round.
There was a lengthy thread about this topic earlier in this group here:

Hope that answers your question!

I have noticed that tweets from my twitter account @thumbfight
suddenly stopped appearing in the Twitter search results starting on
Thursday. Anyone else have this problem?
I submitted a Twitter support request, which was closed by an
automated program they have regarding new Twitter accounts. This
account is not new, and up until Wednesday evening all was working
well.
Anyone else experiencing, or have experienced in the past, this kind of
problem?
