I am using the Atom search API from Twitter. Now I present all (newest 5) tweets with a certain word. But unfortunately, many people retweet this one post and I get the same post 5 times.

Can I exclude retweets? If so, how?

I've been successfully excluding retweets by adding +exclude:retweets at the end of my search query.
