When I run your queries above I see, in both cases, the Tweet from
monkeyhelpr. When you ran the queries it may have been the Tweet was
new and the caching on search.twitter.com hadn't fully updated.
If you need real-time results you may want to consider using the
Streaming API. The query you are running in Search can be applied to
the Streaming API and will mean you see all the public Tweets from
those users as soon as they happen.
You can learn more about the Streaming API on our developer resources site:
