Twitter Now Lets You Search for Any Tweet Ever Sent

  A bit of a shame you can't change the sort order. I think seeing oldest tweets first is going to be regularly useful, for instance to see who broke a certain piece of news.

  I wish the API used the new index, but unfortunately it still provides a very limited and incomplete search functionality.

  Considering it's almost 2015, I'm surprised Twitter got away this long without this.

  I'd be interested to know how far you'd get with Elastic Search. I recently ran a cluster of 3 nodes with 200GB data. But Twitter's data is ~120GB / day, with massive read and write loads. Doing a geographically distributed elastic search cluster with thousands of shards, split across thousands of nodes, in multiple geographical regions, sounds like fun.
