Search tweets for specific URL Twitter API 1.1

I am looking for all those tweets which contain the "specific url". But upon query, empty set is returned from twitter API 1.1 search.

Example: To search tweets which contain following URL:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/07/29/al-gores-reality-minions-think-the-north-pole-is-melting-except-thats-not-a-photo-of-the-north-pole/

  1. Twitter API 1.1 Search: returns no result. online api console
  2. Twitter search returns lot of tweets: link

Why is twitter api 1.1. behaving differently ? Is there any other alternative to search URL from tweets, if not Twitter API 1.1 ?

How are you sending the query? Are you URL encoding the text? - Terence Eden
yes I am encoding the url text. I am using tweepy python library but I have tried from curl as well. - Ashish Bindal
