Q:

Twitter search API VS Operators

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.

A:

Yes, you could do this:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=funny+OR+joke
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=iPod+AND+iPad
http://search.twitter.com/search?q="happy+hour"
Update http://search.twitter.com/search?q="fun+sexy"+OR+"joke+sexy"
The API clearly says that. If you want results having "Happy hour" (text after another), surround it with double quote (")
