I am having trouble access tweets via twitters json search
https://search.twitter.com/search.json?callback=?&rpp=5&q=from:secretdreameruk

The strange this was it was working a few weeks ago, but all of a sudden stopped and is producing no errors.
Viewing the above link in a browser displays the json return, but the results section is empty (“results”:[]), even though I have tweeted recently.

At first I thought the usage would be limited per day, but I have had this problem for about a week.

Does anyone know why this has happened?

Thank you.
Mike

    I’m not sure why that seems to be happening though by twitter’s own admission:

    Search is focused in relevance and not completeness. This means that
    some Tweets and users may be missing from search results. If you want
    to match for completeness you should consider using the Streaming API
    instead.

    I would use the following api format instead, it’s much more customisable. 

    https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=secretdreameruk&count=5&callback=?
