Bug in Twitter not being handled
I noticed a bug in Twitter, so I submitted a “request”:
I type this query in the search box on twitter.com and it works fine:
near:Groningen,Groningen,NL within:10mi -RT -from:huizengroningen
When I type the same query in http://twitter.com/goodies/widget_search I get nothing.
A Twitter bot closed the request immediately, with a message that there are issues with people search, and that this is being handled.
But this isn’t about people search. So I commented on it to reopen the request.
Twitter closes the request again, giving four possible reasons, for me to figure out which applies:
- The problem you reported has been fixed
No, it’s still there.
- You filed a duplicate request and we’re working on an open one, or we solved your issue in another request
Does not apply.
- Yours is a known issue that we’re aware of and working on fixing, listed here: http://help.twitter.com/forums/31935/entries
Checked the list again, and it’s still not there.
- Your request is answered by an article listed in our Help Articles, here: http://help.twitter.com/forums
The issue is not mentioned there either.
So, what do I do now? There seems to be a problem in Twitter search if you use the api (it works fine on the site itself), and I would really like to use this. Does anyone know of a solution, either a work-around, or a way to get Twitter to notice there is a problem?
