Twitter Search Hack

Over the last few days I’ve had trouble getting Twitter search to work for me.  Here’s a hack that does work:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+KEYWORD+near:CITY+within:25mi

Replace “KEYWORD” with the word of your choice and “CITY” with the city name of your choice.  The results will be Tweets and their associated profiles within 25 miles of that city.  Change the distance to achieve your desired result.
