Is that me or you can't make a "OR" request to the twitter API? :(
A:
Twitter's search operators are confusing and annoying to use.
If you want to use 'OR', make sure to enclose the search terms in quotes (for phrases).
Correct:
"John is cheese" OR burger
Incorrect:
John is cheese OR burger
^^^this is interpreted as...
John AND is AND cheese OR burger

This syntax seems very sensible to me.

It makes sense logically, but you need to know that queries need to be technically correct, twitter's search isn't as forgiving or flexible as google's.
