Nope, not possible. Streaming API tokenizes on space and punctuation. So you'll have to come up with the variants and provide those. Damon On Oct 10, 6:28 am, D. Smith emai...@sharedlog.com wrote: For example I want is to search for words that have 'truck' in it and want to get all tweets that

I heard somewhere that the list count is supposed to be included in the user object at some point, although I can't remember where I heard that/what the timeline was. Until then, best solution appears to be (I hate to say it) scraping the website. Otherwise, the API calls could get out of hand
