I am using twitter rest api for reading user's twitter feed and searching tweets for specific hashtags. But twitter search api do not return tweets containing url in search result.

E.g. I have 2 tweets a) #hashtag b) #hashtag http://google.co.in/

below api returns only first tweet in search result https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%23promojuice Tweets containing any url are not returned in search result.

Does anyone have any clue about this?

This is because Twitter search API has a limit of 7 days. Check the API documentation

The Twitter Search API searches against a sampling of recent Tweets published in the past 7 days.

The key word is sampling, Twitter Search API only returned what they consider relevant tweets.
