Hello, The limit is indeed 140 and most likely won't be going up any time soon. The reason for the limit is for performance reasons. In order to do timely queries we don't allow for longer/arbitrary queries which could be very complex. -Chad On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 3:08 PM, zapnap

Hello, Currently there is no such API, but you can simulate it somewhat by fetching several pages of your friends_timeline and parsing through them for keywords. We realize this is not ideal, and we've had several requests for this feature. It may be added down the road. -Chad On Thu, Sep 24,

The rpp defaults to 15 or something if you don't specify it. Sounds like you need to mess around and play with things a bit more. The key to max search results isn't in paging or rpp, but in max_id. Be careful what you ask for. Retrieval of everything available can take a long time (hours)
