I think it does if you use: @user -to:user

Right, but using the Search API doesn't provide a way of filtering

Jeff,
A Search for @replies will return any tweet that contains a
reference to the user. The current implementation of replies from
the REST API will only return tweets that start with a reference to
that user. Thus the result from the search API is the superset of
all @replies and public mentions of a user.

Twitter ID values of a tweet to ignore already filtered tweets from
the Twitter API. Sorry if this is confusing.

Jeff,
The search API [1] is drop dead simple. Say you have a search for
any @reply or mention to @twitterapi [2]. Changing the search URL to
include a format (json or atom) will give you a feed that can be
parsed programmatically. For example:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%40twitterapi
[1] - http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Search+API+Documentation
[2] - http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40twitterapi

I would prefer to get them in a feed like the Twitter API provides
(like in a Status node). Will these appear in the replies Twitter
API call?

I thought that those type of replies would show up under the replies
tab anyway (i.e. there doesn't need to be a relationship between two
users (in either direction) for a reply to show up in the replies
tab). I could be wrong, or maybe something changed...
However, if you head to http://search.twitter.com/ and search for
@user you will see all mentions of that user from all public accounts.
You can grab the resultant search as an RSS/Atom feed if you like.

Hello,
Is it possible to track replies sent to a user even though that user
is not
following that person? If so, how?
