The REST and Search API offer separate functionality [1]. They will eventually be merged but for now you should use the Search API for trends and search data, and the REST API for timeline and user information. 2) asking the search API for 100 results seems to work, but does not > appear accessible from the advanced search page - can I expect to > continue to receive a set of 100 results with one request? We do not include the RPP value greater than 50 in advanced search because it does not present the type of user experience we want to provide. We will continue to offer a value of 100 for the API. 3) The search results appear to always be ordered by post time, in > ascending order.

Search results, like Twitter timelines, will continue to be provided in chronological order, regardless of which operators are included in a query. 1. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/API-Overview Thanks, Doug Williams Twitter API Support http://twitter.com/dougw On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 10:02 PM, explicious <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > Thank you for the updates.
