As far as I've been able to tell, Twitter only archives tweets for maybe a few weeks--if that. I set up a hashtag that was used by hundreds of people throughout the month of May to promote a campaign for the association I work for. I had a link to that search up on the website, and figured the month of tweets would be forever captured. Wrong. Even as the month went on, I was only able to access part of the search--and now, two months out, I get no results at all. Very frustrating for me--but, I suppose, good in a situation like you're describing. I wish I could have this problem with Twitter!
