Hi Jan,
The search system requires the since_id to be a status ID in the
search database. That requirement allows us to lookup the date on the
status in question and perform some crucial optimizations. In the case
of 1066081654 that status is not in the search database so it throws a
404. In this case, the user "mitchfanning" was flagged by our support
team about three months ago and search updates stopped.
Thanks;

Hi folks,
could someone help me by telling me why
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Amitchfanning&since_id=1066081654
yields a 404 while
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=from%3Alayzdaisy&since_id=1097277226
works like a charm? Is the id too old in the first case?
Thank you very much for your help. Best regards,
Jan
