I'm getting "query is too complex" errors (see example below) & will begin limiting the complexity of my formulated query.
Are there known/published limits to the number of "q=" terms the search API will support? In my experience so far, it seems 10 terms is the limit. Anyone know more specifically about the "q=" complexity limits? Any feedback is appreciated! *Mars curl session: * About to connect() to search.twitter.com port 80 (#0) * Trying 128.121.243.235... connected * Connected to search.twitter.com (128.121.243.235) port 80 (#0) > GET > /search.atom?q=%22Bose%22+-%22Einstein%22+-%22condensate%22+-%22Mihir%22+-%22Miguel%22+-%22Chandra%22+-%22Mallika%22+-%22cricket%22+-%22brigadier%22+-%22Hubbard%22+-%22lucia%22+-%22Biman%22+-%22Rahul%22&page=1&rpp=11 > HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (universal-apple-darwin10.0) libcurl/7.19.7 > OpenSSL/0.9.8l zlib/1.2.3 > Host: search.twitter.com > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden < Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:30:11 GMT < Server: hi < Status: 403 Forbidden < X-Served-From: sjc1c010 < Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 < X-Served-By: sjc1i029.twitter.com < Cache-Control: max-age=15, must-revalidate, max-age=1800 < Expires: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:00:11 GMT < Vary: Accept-Encoding < Content-Length: 145 < X-Varnish: 694464630 < Age: 0 < Via: 1.1 varnish < X-Cache-Svr: sjc1i029.twitter.com < X-Cache: MISS < Connection: close < <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <error>Sorry, your query is too complex.
