Currently, I get tweets using the search API v1.1 (https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json). However, it seems to not return extended tweets, which means that everything after the first 140 characters (including mentions and urls) is missing from the API reply.
To explore (I don't know if they'd solve the problem):
Using timelines means reducing some functionality, but it's functionality I almost never use: most of the time I just want a list of users as the roots.
Moving to v2 may involve more time than I'm willing to spend.
