Clicking two of their own examples don't bring up anything. Not so awesome:

Hi Kyle- If you agree with somebody's comment, please push the up arrow next to it. If you have anything to add to said comment, feel free to post a reply. EDIT: "agree" might not be the best term. You can disagree and still think the comment was of quality, in which case an upmod and a reply stating your opposition would be appropriate.

Icerocket is much better. Most of the results at tweemp return loads of spam accounts, not real human beings.

My apologies. For some reason I thought I had upvoted the comment as well.

Tried searching for something with a bunch of oldish results in search.twitter.com and got "no results"

search.twitter.com has a dataset that is no older then two weeks.

Ah, just realized my comment was far from clear; I meant that I searched search.twitter.com for a term, it yielded the expected results, then searched the same term on this product and got "no results"
