Erm, I dont think it is working correctly if using the link below (as what described in Jonathan's post)
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22life+before+death%22+OR+%22palliative+care%22+OR+dying+OR+%22end-of-life+care%22 It only retrieve results that is based on the "dying" keyword. The other keywords ("life before death", "palliative care") which contain spaces doesnt return any results. :( Best Regards, Anis Year 3 - Student Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore On May 11, 11:44 pm, Jonathan Reichhold <jonathan.reichh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Quotes should be used on all phrases.
