Using a number as a hashtag breaks results

    Using the hashtag feed type with a number, like say ‘#99′, results in tweets from usernames that contain ’99’, and tweets that contain the text ’99’.

    The issue occurs when using only numbers. Using a combination or numbers and letters works fine, like say ‘#99problems’.

    This is on latest wordpress, and latest plugin version as of today.

    Hey jkbyln,

    It looks like the results on twitter.com are the same as you are describing: https://twitter.com/hashtag/99

    I’m not 100% sure but I wonder if using just numbers for a hashtag is not valid in Twitter’s eyes. Does that sound like it might be the case to you?
