Make search is really simple:

Setting the value PtwiX::$SEARCH at the “timeline type” parameter in the constructor.

$PtwiX=new PtwiX('firs','user','pass','http://example.com/ptwix/','/var/www/example/ptwix/cache/',PtwiX::$SEARCH,'silver-red');

Now you can call the setSearchString method and pass it the string that you want to search.

//show 30 tweets that contains the "php" tag
$PtwiX->setSearchString("q=php&rpp=30");

You can setting a title for your search with this code line

$PtwiX->setSearchTitle("All about php");

This is a complete example

<? include "core/PtwiX.php";
$PtwiX=new PtwiX('firs','user','pass','http://example.com/ptwix/', '/var/www/example/ptwix/cache/',PtwiX::$SEARCH,'silver-red');
?>
<html>
<head>
<? $PtwiX->printCssRef(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?
$PtwiX->setSearchString("q=ptwix");
$PtwiX->setSearchTitle("All about ptwix");
$PtwiX->printBox();
?>
</body>
</html>
