The time window depends on how busy Twitter is as a whole - the search
is not a fixed timeframe.

 When try to search on results from a user like from:mashable, I only
 see results going as far back as 24 hours? I thought the archive went

Hey Quy,

Search is focused on real-time relevant Tweets, so the index is fairly
short. At the moment the index is ~5 days of relevant Tweets.
I hope that answers your question,
