Re: Twitter Filters are not working on custom search

ok, so it is working. you can see the filters being applied.

However, due to your search and your heavy filters it is ignoring all results. Due to how Twitter search is working, it isn't paging the results. Unfortunately this is out side my control at this time due to relying on a twitter library.

Whilst that is looked at updated (I won't lie, it will take a while) your best bet is to think more about the search and filters.

For example, mixed search will return popular tweets, popular tweets will be from popular accounts, so any filter of >followers is pointless. For example, filter if more than 5000 followers, but your search is only going to return accounts with 100,000+ followers due to the "popular" search.

Another way, would be to to tell the search to return more items in the custom search. Double click the selected search and specify a large amount, 10,000 for example. This should return more results which will allow you to filter against and hopefully find some to process
