title: Managing Tweepy API Search
body: <p>Please forgive me if this is a gross repeat of a question previously answered elsewhere, but I am lost on how to use the tweepy API search function. Is there any documentation available on how to search for tweets using the <code>api.search()</code> function?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can control features such as number of tweets returned, results type etc.?</p>
  
  <p>The results seem to max out at 100 for some reason.</p>
  
  <p>the code snippet I use is as follows    </p>
  
  <p><code>searched_tweets = self.api.search(q=query,rpp=100,count=1000)</code></p>
