  $results = $twitter->search('love', {rpp=>'10'});

=head2 page

The page number to return, up to a max of roughly 1500 results (based on rpp * page)

  #get page 3
  $results = $twitter->search('love', {page=>'3'});

=head2 since_id

Returns tweets with status ids greater than the given id.

  $results = $twitter->search('love', {since_id=>'1021356410'});

=head2 geocode

 $results = $twitter->search('coffee', {geocode=> '40.757929,-73.985506,25km'});

Note that you cannot use the near operator via the API to geocode arbitrary locations; however you can use this geocode parameter to search near geocodes directly.
