Description of Issue

the profile opcion which gets retweets info only works with username or user_id but not with search option, right?

the code above gives 0 results but if I use a username it works.
the opcions since and until does not work with profile option, it always extract data starting in the current day, is that ok?

Now as now Since and Until work for Search, this feature is quite new so it needs some work to satisfy our needs.

Thank you for pointing out!

The Profile option uses an entirely different request that only takes a username parameter, and also very limited or very slow depending on which method you use.

I'll add more details about the Profile option in the Wiki on a later date.
