Allow longer strings for fine tuning of searches
I noticed that there appears to me a limitation on the length of a search string, i.e. when entering this string the last word allowed is -Ajax. Any plans to allow longer strings so that one can truly fine tune a search to eliminate garbage?

HootSuite is limited to the amount of strings allowed by each social network’s API. Since this is not something we can change, we must therefore decline.

I think you COULD do this. You could have the search the length it is now for sending through the APIs. Then, once that comes back to you, you could let us run more searches and filters on it. For example, a word I'm searching in one of my stacks appears to be in dozens of Twitter user IDs. I can't boolean "NOT" those because I'm out of room in my search.
There are ways to do this, especially with what the person below is saying. Your competitors are allowing for longer search strings, so you can't say it can't be done.

Pitty, but how come other 3the part services like co-tweet can give me a longer search string in their application?
