Hey Chris,
1) Is the IP you're using shared? For example, what was the value of
"X-RateLimit-Remaining" _before_ starting the test? If you're concerned with
Rate Limiting, you should really consider authenticating your calls.
2) Looks like you're not using your library correctly for search. Try:
$search = $twitterObj->get_search(array('q' => 'whatever'));
