The number of tweets you are able to retrieve is artificially limited for performance reasons. As you can tell, 1500 is the limit.
Arbitrary retrieval would cause too many disk look ups which would adversely affect performance of the entire system. Limiting the number of results available allows most queries to utilize memory caches.
