Twitter search API VS Operators

Question

I've found this page about the Twitter search API and some operators : http://search.twitter.com/operators

But is it possible to make a search like : All posts containing the words "ipod OR ipad" AND all posts containing the words "funny OR joke" in just one query ?

Like : "happy AND hour" OR "ipod AND ipad" (in the same query)

In a search string, it would be something like : "fun+sexy"+OR+"joke+sexy"

BUT, this string in the API returns ONLY posts with the two words together, I would like to have the posts that contins "fun AND sexy", but not necessarily the two words together.

example : It returns posts like : "this is fun sexy cool" (somehow twitter ignores commas) and doesn't returns posts like : "this is fun, cool and sexy"

This doesn't look like it's possible (in the same query). Of course, you can do it with 2 different queries ;) . I think it's the only way.

Answer 1

Have you tried?

I get different results from "ipad AND iphone" than I do from "ipad OR iphone", and the "AND" query only gives me ones with both, so it appears to work just fine.

It looks like "AND" is unnecessary, as terms are ANDed by default.
