Hi, I’ve ran into the following issue when using REST API.
Let’s say I’m searching for Bruno Mars’ account. So this query “q=Bruno” actually returns his account as the top result. With both REST API and Twitter Search:
https://twitter.com/search?f=users&vertical=default&q=Bruno&src=typd
But if the query is “q=Bruno+M” (or even “Bruno Mar”!!) the results are completely different and don’t include the user I’m looking for:
https://twitter.com/search?f=users&vertical=default&q=Bruno+M&src=typd
However I noticed that twitter’s autocomplete/typeahead search results (just type “Bruno M” into the search field on twitter.com) work differently and return this user, this is the URL twitter.com calls:
https://twitter.com/i/search/typeahead.json?count=10&filters=true&q=Bruno+M&result_type=topics%2Cusers&src=SEARCH_BOX
But if I click on the search icon, then the results don’t include Bruno Mars like I said above. Same with REST API.
How do I do typeahead type search using REST API?
Thanks!
