title: Count number of results for a particular word on Twitter
body: <p>To further a personal project of mine, I have been pondering how to count the number of results for a user specified word on <a href="http://www.twitter.com" rel="noreferrer">Twitter</a>.  I have used their API extensively, but have not been able to come up with an efficient or even halfway practical way to count the occurrences of a particular word.  The actual results are not critical, just the overall count.  I'll keep scratching my head.  Any ideas or direction pointing would be most appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>e.g. <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tomatoes" rel="noreferrer">http://search.twitter.com/search?q=tomatoes</a></p>
