I’m seeing a high rate of failure for the /search/tweets request. Tweets are being returned with no user object. This is intermittent. It varies from about 1% to 10% of the responses have this problem. Here is an example of a tweet found with this call that had no user object.

I have the following parameters set in the API call:
‘result_type’ => ‘recent’, ‘lang’ => ‘en’, ‘include_entities’ => ‘true’, ‘count’ => 100
This code has worked with no problems in the past.
