How would I go about displaying tweets that contain a certain hashtag using the Twitter API? Thanks

I'd also like to know if there is a way to get all tweets from a certain hashtag in a separate file, also the ones that don't show up in your feed anymore. I suppose that's what the earlier question was about, too.

This answer was written in 2010. The API it uses has since been retired. It is kept for historical interest only.

Search for it.

Make sure include_entities is set to true to get hashtag results. See Tweet Entities

Returns 5 mixed results with Twitter.com user IDs plus entities for the term "blue angels":

GET http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=blue%20angels&rpp=5&include_entities=true&with_twitter_user_id=true&result_type=mixed
