[twitter-dev] Unexpected search results from search.twitter.com and API

2010-05-14 Thread Naveen Ayyagari
Hello,
I have seen this a few times in the last couple of days and did
not see it mentioned on the list. If it is a duplicate report I
apologize.

A simple search is on a keyword, the first result does not contain the
keyword at all, here is a screen shot displaying the behavior on
search.twitter.com website.

I have seen this strange behavior via the api as well and it is a bit
confusing.

Naveen,

I saw a case with one of my searches this morning where a bit.ly url
appeared to have been expanded before Twitter Search matched on the
tweet.  Tim Haines said this morning on Twitter he had seen something
similar.

So, for the first tweet:

$ curl -I http://bit.ly/cMsa7U;
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
Server: nginx/0.7.42

The expanded bit.ly link contains 'SocialScope'.
