title: Twitter search API returns no tweets?
body: <p>I'm using NodeJS and an npm package called oauth to communicate with Twitter's search API. For some reason however, twitter is returning to me an empty array of statuses without any error... What is even more confusing is the fact that using a tool like Postman with the exact same request and keys returns the list of tweets? It makes no sense! Here is my request:</p>
  
  <p>URL: <a href="https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?count=100&amp;q=hello&amp;since_id=577103514154893312&amp;max_id=577103544903462913" rel="nofollow">https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?count=100&amp;q=hello&amp;since_id=577103514154893312&amp;max_id=577103544903462913</a></p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var twitter_auth = new OAuth(
          "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
          "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token",
          config.consumer_key,
          config.consumer_secret,
          "1.0A",
          null,
          "HMAC-SHA1"
      );
  
      var request = twitter_auth.get(
          "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json" + url,
          config.access_token,
          config.access_token_secret
      );
  
      var chunk = "", message = "", that = this;
      request.on("response", function(response){
          response.setEncoding("utf8");
          response.on("data", function(data){
              chunk += data;
  
              try {
                  message = JSON.parse(chunk);
              } catch(e) {
                  return;
              }
  
              console.log(message);
  
              if(message.statuses)
              {
                  for(var i = 0; i &lt; message.statuses.length; i++)
                  {
                      var tweet = message.statuses[i];
                      that.termData[term.name].push(tweet);
                  }
                  if(message.search_metadata.next_results)
                  {
                      that.openRequests.push(that.createNewSearch(message.search_metadata.next_results, term));
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      that.termCompleted(term);
                  }
              }
              else if(message)
              {
                  console.log("Response does not appear to be valid.");
              }
          });
          response.on("end", function(){
              console.log("Search API End");
          });
          response.on("error", function(err){
              console.log("Search API Error", err);
          });
      });
  
      request.end();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>console.log(message)</code> is returning this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      statuses: [],
      search_metadata: {
          completed_in: 0.007,
          max_id: 577103544903462900,
          max_id_str: '577103544903462913',
          query: 'hello',
          refresh_url: '?since_id=577103544903462913&amp;q=hello&amp;include_entities=1',
          count: 100,
          since_id: 577103514154893300,
          since_id_str: '577103514154893312'
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas what is going on? Why is the statuses array empty in my code but full of tweets in Postman?</p>
