Difference between the result of Twitter search screen and the return value of API
In some cases, the result of a search set to include a specific word in the advanced search of twitter is slightly larger than the return value of the API. However, some tweets only appear in the return value of the API.
Why is this? Why aren't they unified?This is the advanced search screen I am talking about.
https://twitter.com/search-advanced?f=liveWe want the same result as searching for AAA in the advanced search screen, so the API rules are:
"(AAA OR bio_name: AAA) -is: retweet"
Please let me know if anything is wrong.Thank you

Filter tweets by users list
It could be great to be able to use the "list:username/list-name" search parameter into the filtered stream endpoint, to watch tweets from a list of users rather than chaining "from:usernameX" parameters until the 10*512 chars are used.
Especially since the new endpoint will replace the current one that currently allows to watch up to 5k users (the "from:xxx OR " method will only allow to watch 250 to 400 users depending on the average username length ; that's more than 10x less than before).

Filtered Stream monthly limits
I read in this announcement https://twittercommunity.com/t/new-filtered-stream-endpoints-available-in-labs-and-the-future-of-statuses-filter/129888 that the new Filtered Stream endpoint, available in Labs, will be subject to monthly limits on the amount of tweets retrieved.
Do you think that this kind of limitation will also be present in the version released in the future?I didn't find this kind of limitation on the old endpoint "statuses/filter".
In this answer on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34962677/twitter-streaming-api-limits
, the idea of a limit on the endpoint "status/filter" based on the amount of tweets delivered within a certain percentage threshold compared to the totality of tweets generated on twitter was mentioned.
I find that…3 votesThanks for the suggestion. This is not something we are likely to prioritise in the near future. However, please continue voting for this idea if it reflects your needs.
