Hashtag Search Finds Other Hashtags Containing the Specified One

[reformatco]

Bit of a confusing title, apologies.

I am using searchParams: "q=%23futr" to search for the #futr hashtag but this returns other hashtags that include this one eg. #futrest or #futrdj

I have looked at the xhr used in the plugin and the search looks fine so i didn't know if it was a twitter API problem - but the simple search https://twitter.com/search?q=%23futr seems to work fine.

Any ideas?

I think it's a Twitter problem. The different results between the Search API and the search at twitter.com is also mentioned here:

"... Please note that the Search interface presented on twitter.com will not completely match the results you'll get back from the unauthenticated Search API ..."
