Hi Stu,
If you need to use the search API for this, you'll need to tolerate the
greedy-matching on the profile location field, by discarding the results
uninteresting for your purposes (those tweets with no explicit geotagging).

Hi Augusto,
Thanks for your reply. The problem with the Streaming API is that I'd
have to have set some database app listening to the stream for the
past few years to be able to get all the data (especially for remote
locations). I also don't know where my users are going to be, so I
don't have the ability to set any bounding boxes...
I need something that I can search back in time, rather than set
listening.. without knowing in advance where the users will be. Hence
the need for the search API...

Hi,
I have a pre-question before my question. With the search API's
geocode based search, if it falls back on the user's profile
information does it use GPS positions in their profile or some
location such as 'London'. The problem is that I need much greater
precision than that.
Thus, if I perform this search:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?geocode=51.53,-0.14,1mi
Am I able to get results back that only contain lat/long values of the
tweet? The json returned here has basically no values for 'geo'.
Thanks
S.
