Abraham, thanks for the pointer. >From the wiki, it appears that the search should return up to 1500 results; if you don't restrict the limit by specifying rpp and page, then it might error out.
Thus this should yield good results: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=barack+obama&since=2008-11-03&until=2008-11-05&page=10&rpp=15 Because page*rpp = 150, which is far short of the limit. Instead, I get this: {"results":[],"max_id":992444080,"since_id": 986862019,"previous_page":"?page=9&max_id=992444080&q=barack+obama +since%3A2008-11-03+until%3A2008-11-05","refresh_url":"? since_id=992444080&q=barack+obama+since%3A2008-11-03+until %3A2008-11-05","total":135,"results_per_page":15,"page": 10,"completed_in":0.059496,"query":"barack+obama+since %3A2008-11-03+until%3A2008-11-05"} Which appears to suggest that the query is going through but that nothing is being returned. Thus it doesn't appear that the null result is being caused by the query limits. Or am I misreading this output? Thanks for everyone's responses.
