Searchcount under-reporting #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Searchcount is not reporting all hashtag mentions:
http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?q=%23LewisAustralia&type=tweet

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The results should be at least 600 when the api is only returning 297.

I suspect this may have something to do with Topsy displaying 'Mentions That 
Matter'. Is it possible to retrieve ALL results?

This seems to also affect search's total field and searchhistogram, too.

For example, plotting 
http://otter.topsy.com/searchhistogram.txt?q=@<USER>&count_method=citation&perio
d=30&type=tweet does *not* yield the same result as the web interface Dashboard 
over the same 30-day period. (However, the two are correlated--the same general 
trends can be found in both datasets, just not with consistent numbers.)
