Hi can anyone help me narrow down a Twitter search by time frame?

I have a flow that text searches Twitter every 12 hours and emails me hits from the search. I want to limit results to Tweets posted in the past 12 hours.

I can't find a Twitter search operator that does the job so am experimenting with the "apply to each" function to see if I can build a function that only outputs results from the "created at" expression from the last 12 hours but I can't get my head around it!

this is where I've got to. thanks guys!

Not that you lot were of any use, but I've found a way to do it, using Twitter's since_time: search operator to limit results from past 12 hours. Here you go:
sub(div(sub(ticks(utcNow()),ticks('1970-01-01')), 10000000), 43200)
