there's no need to be afraid of using it. In fact, I should also add that
my problem with being “filtered out” of Twitter search results was cleared
up promptly (once I reached the correct tech support person). The benefits

Getting “banned” from Twitter Search results: I want folks to know the good news. Once I identified the right tech support person, my problem was fixed within a few hours.

I was successfully reinstated, and all my tweets (and profile) now appear in Twitter Search results.

Twitter Search apparently only goes back 55 days. Although none of my 2 years of tweets (prior to reinstatement) will appear in Twitter Search results any longer ~ only 55 days of tweets have actually been “lost.”
