Twitter atom don't retrieving old tweets

问题

I have an application that consumes a twitter xml (obtained in http://search.twitter.com/) and shows the last 5 tweets posted by an account. But now it's only retrieving tweets posted in last 7 days.

The request made by me is something like:

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:twitter&rpp=5&show_user=true

Anyone that passed for the same problem can give me an idea?

Thank you.

rpp=5 means "do not return more than 5 tweets". Your query returns the 5 least recent tweets of the user no matter how old they are.

The only way to restrict the age of the tweets in the result is the parameter since_id.

Edit: The search API seems to be limited to 7 days.
