Hi Mike,
If a status ID does not exit in search it cannot be used as a
since_id. It looks like 1103044621 is not in search, hence the error.
The since_id was created mostly to support pagination and refreshes so
it takes certain things like this for granted. Relying on that ID
being in the database is used for a big optimization, so it's not
something we can remove.
Thanks;

Hello All,
I'm searching for all the replies from a specified ID
(1103044621) but the page is returning a 404. However if I change the
since_id (up or down) everything works fine. The name I search for
does not matter. If you change mrmlk to anything else I still get a
404.
404:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=+to%3Amrmlk&since_id=1103044621
Works fine:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=+to%3Amrmlk&since_id=1103044620
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=+to%3Amrmlk&since_id=1103044622
Any idea what is going on, and why post 1103044621 is special.
Thanks
Mike
