So searching with a particular list as a filter is not yet possible. Any way of replicating this in an other way via a script parsing through list members tweets? Thanks.

I agree with Jesse, this feature was key for me in Friendfeed, it is very powerful. You could also search lists (hint hint ;)) Personally I would would be happy with my @PaulKinlan user being put back into search results, it has not been included in any search for several months now - but that is a whole separate issue. P 2009/10/30 Abava dnam...@gmail.com we've managed to search links from friends (just published links): http://tlink.linkstore.ru and hashtags http://tbuzz.linkstore.ru On Oct 28, 6:33 am, Jesse Stay jesses...@gmail.com wrote: I have a project in which it would be tremendously easier if I could just specify a search to take place amongst a particular user's Twitter friends, instead of across the entire site.

Ideally this could all be done in the search query. Append who:everybody, who:friends, or who:self (I believe FriendFeed does something like this) to the query and it only searches the specified people. This way no API changes are needed. Only backend infrastructure to handle the new query terms.
