Well, then I'd need some help with that... Again, it's easy with single search keywords, but I haven't found a solution for combined searches like twitter+stream or photo+Paris... because I would have to compare each combination of tokens in the tweet...
Can someone give more details. I am not sure why I'd still need to match the keywords on my side either... if you cna tell me which ones it matches.
