I learned about a new search operator: "include:nativeretweets". Thanks .
Native Retweets are excluded by default because nobody wants to see the same Tweet over and over again in the search results.
It's super useful to find something you retweeted in the past.

You can also use min_faves:X to restrict to tweets that were liked X or more times.

I prefer -min_faves:X. Tweets that were faved less than X times.

You can also force it to show most of the firehose level data by using -filter:verified (the bulk of all accounts) along with a max_id parameter converted from epoch for the time range you want:
Example:
-filter:verified max_id:1156505669069131776

You can calculate the boundaries using this Python formula:
(milli_second_epoch - 1288834974657) << 22

Makes me want to finally build a Twitter Search Query builder, to make it easy for everyone to search for exact timeframes.
