Twitter using #hashtags doesn't work
If you use a #hashtag then it searches for the text, rather than #text. Example, I set up a Twitter group to use #astonmartin, but instead of returning all tweets with #astonmartin in them, it returns tweets from users with names like 'iloveastonmartins' or 'astonmartin_owner', in other words it ignores the # when it submits the JSON query to Twitter :-)
Answer
Wrote a fix for this (sits inside doTwitterUpdate in provider.js, after if(user) {...} block:
<code>
if ((user == null) || (user == ""))
user = "#";
search = search.trim();
</code>
As in the case of @astonmartin, user = "from:astonmartin" and search = "",
but in the case of #astonmartin, user = "" and search = " astonmartin".
Hope this helps!
