Looks like that account is no longer in the search index. You can test that by searching for from:ProgressivePST http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3AProgressivePST This probably happened because of the amount of automated tweets containing links that you have.

I've been kind of slinking along in development mode and I'm not terribly slick with Twitter. I'm now at a point where there is going to be a LOT of attention on this - how does one ask/register/apologize/grovel to be able to do a higher volume of messaging? I've been digging for tech support and right now the low resistance path seems to be scooting into Boston, knocking on the door at Spark Capital, and asking for Bijan Sabet. I hope there's an easier method :-) On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:57 AM, natefanaro natefan...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like that account is no longer in the search index.

[twitter-dev] Re: Updates not being indexed?
It's not really an issue with volume. You are way below the hourly limit of the number of tweets allowed. Once you hit that limit you'll know. The api will return an error stating you're over your allowed status updates for the hour. From what I can tell not being indexed by search only affects search. If someone is following or if you mention someone you they will still see your tweets. I can't speak for Twitter as to why they leave accounts out of search. It could either be related to reducing how much data the search service goes through or trying to lessen spammy tweets. You might be able to email the team at a...@twitter.com to get back in the search index. If you are only using search to track your sent tweets you could store tweet data in your own database.

We've got information sources for all 435 House districts and we're trying to make their respective hashtags a known information source for residents. Not being available in search pretty much makes this whole concept a dead end ... we actually don't want followers on the userid that publishes this information - it's way too noisy to follow.

[twitter-dev] Re: Updates not being indexed?
It's been my experience that a user not showing up in FROM:username searches in the search.twitter.com system are missing because they were previously suspended or otherwise disabled on Twitter. A screen name being restored on Twitter doesn't seem to translate into it being restored in the search system. So if your screen name has ever been owned by someone else, or banned as a spam account, I'm guessing it never got removed from the search system blacklist.
