Answer 1

Twitter provides search for the last few days only.

The cost of keeping the data indexed is too high, given the few users interested. Twitter's business model is live information.

If you want historical data, you will have to buy this from third party providers. I don't remember the name, but a company offering such data was linked from the Twitter web page where they explained this limitation of their search API.
