combining 2 searchphrases dont seem to return any results: q="@CrescendoNZ #eecms"

Neither does the Twitter API: https://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%40CrescendoNZ%20%23eecms

You can only retrieve results from the past week or so using this plugin (because that is all the Twitter API returns). That's the least of your worries though - the Twitter API this plugin uses is now deprecated, and this plugin will completely stop working at some point in the future. See here for more details: https://github.com/expressodev/twitter_search

No offense but your documentation says q="@CrescendoNZ #eecms" should work.

Of course it works if that user has tweeted about #eecms, but they haven't lately. It's an example.

Makes sence now.
