I am able to display home timeline in my site.However there is one more functionality in my site where we can search Home timeline of a user.I know that there is a search by which i can get tweets related to a keyword.But i want to get results for a specific home timeline only.
Any pointers to that
Many thanks

If you use twitter.com/search for searching tweets, use "from:USERNAME" as Keyword in searchform for get tweets by user.
Look at all opeartors on the page, linked above.
Is that what you search?

I've had a look at the following link - https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines within Twitter. It says you can display your timeline, favorites, lists but not the tweets from the people you're following.
Essentially when you first log into Twitter, I want to show those tweets - the tweets from people I'm following on my website.
Or is there a way to automatically add people we're following to a list? So I can then display that list?
Can it be done? If so, how?
I don't think you can achieve this with embedded timelines but you can achieve it by using the REST API. The link below gives details on how to do this. Your request will then return a json string of the latest tweets of people you follow. You can format this then display it

I have a web page with the little Twitter API code that allows anyone to tweet about a page. Now, I want to find the tweets that these people have made. How do I do that?
Here is example:
http://www.squidoo.com/google-glass-glasses
On the left side it shows 3 tweets. A search on Twitter for that URL only brings back one real tweet to that page.
http://backtweets.com seems to do it better than twitter itself.
I am not sure how it is done, therefore my questions below:
I would like to ask folks on Twitter for a suggestion on a particular topic. Can I tell them to use certain hashtag and have all comments with that hashtag posted on my site?
Do I just pick a hashtag or does it need to be created somehow?
Can I have users on my site rate those suggestions? In that case, would I need to somehow grab twitter message and store locally?
Just trying to understand the process in order to implement it.
Hashtags don't have to be created - just use it in tweet.
In order to get all tweets with particular hashtag, use search API: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search and search for this hashtag. You should save all relevant tweets (twitter search is not reliable on old tweets).
Is there any way at all to search for latest tweets by keyword, then - crucially - only show the tweets when the twitter user it belongs to has a keyword in their bio? I've been searching for ways to do this and have found nothing other than sites (e.g FollowerWonk) which offer this functionality but not an API to tap into. Any advice appreciated!
You can use the regular Twitter api to search for Tweets containing your keyword. All docs are at dev.twitter.com. In the results set that you get back, you can also get the bio of each user. You could make a subselection in that text. We found the easiest way to load the results into a SOLR instance, and search on anything you want.
Is it possible to search through Twitter's media for specific tags?
I know you can access the media via this url:
https://twitter.com/#!/therealpaddock/media/grid
Appending media/grid to the end of a user's ID, I was wondering if there is a way to search through all the twitter media photos via a tag???
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/user-streams
http://dev.twitpic.com/docs/
I have been searching through the API and googling, and I can't find anything out there that does this.
I have been looking at Twitpic's API but can't seem to find anywhere that lets you search and display images.
Tag? I'm not sure you understand Twitter. A photo is simply attached to a tweet. A tweet may have a hashtag. If you want to search by hashtags, simply use the normal tweet search, then filter the photos.
Not sure why you linked to Twitpic, as what you're looking for is the normal Twitter search. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search
You can look at the Twicsy API.
It allows you to search all Twitter pictures using a search term (which is what I think you mean by tag).
http://api.twicsy.com/search/foo
http://api.twicsy.com/search?q=foo
They also provide ways to filter results, by number of results and date. (Go to the API docs for more details).
Another solution would be to use the Twitter search API to make the query and parse out the images manually. This blog post explains how.
