Twitter API search within following - api

wondering if anyone has heard of a way to filter Twitter search results to the users 'following' list? I'd like to do a search for pics that people I follow have posted. The pics part is fairly trivial (search for image URLs) but I'm guessing that a user-filtered search is beyond the API, even with oAuth.
I've seen a couple of services like snapbird.org that advertise this feature (even though they don't seem to work well), any guesses as to how they go about this?
Thanks!

You can implement this specific image search easily with the help of jetwick.com available as open source here: https://github.com/karussell/Jetwick
Currently searching in your friends is possible but adding yet another filter isn't that hard. Patches are welcome ;)

how to use wikipedia-API like google does?

when i search something on google on the right side of the page i saw wiki-page for this item.
example: i searched for adriana lima
i am devoloping a search engine and i want the exact same thing. Heres my question. i learned how to use wikipedia API. but i couldn't find how i get this section as google does.
I'm showing which section i looking for in this picture.but i don't know what is the nameof this section and how to se it via wiki-API
They could do it either by parsing the factbox themselves, or by using the data mined from factboxes by DBPedia.
You have yet another option, that wasn't there when Google started showing these snippets: WikiData has an excellent API for that kind of work. Not every fact from the factbox is there, yet, but it is filling up quickly.

Google search results site map?

I was wondering how to achieve the following when searching for my website on Google. I've tried searching around for it but I'm not sure what the exact term is so I haven't gotten anywhere.
Basically, when my website is searched in Google, I'd like the subpages to be indexed like shown in the image below, instead of coming up as another result. Is this possible or is it something that Google does for you?
Take a look at this screenshot:
Google calls them sitelinks.
You can’t enforce them currently:
We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them.
At the moment, sitelinks are automated.
For encouraging Google to display them for your site, see the question on Webmasters SE:
What are the most important things I need to do to encourage Google Sitelinks?
They also have a "sitelinks" tag.

Amazon search bar api Product advertising

I am trying to place amazon search bar for books category in my website, where user searches for a book and is redirected to amazon website. My URL should be tagged with my associate ID so that i can earn some money.
The problem is i am unable to find any procedure to create such search bar. I have browsed through Product advertising API section, but it is very confusing.
I want exactly like this: http://amasearchbar.com/demo-blog/
Can someone help me how to make such autocomplete search bar, or provide me directly the code for it.
Any help is appreciated.
Amazon isn't likely to give instructions for how to create something like that - but they do give you the tools necessary to figure it out yourself if you're willing to learn their API.
Without more information, it's hard for anyone here to "help" you either.
That link you gave is to a WP plugin. Are you using WP? If so, your easiest bet is to buy the plugin and use that (I am not endorsing that plugin specifically, I have no experience with it).
If you give more specifics on what language you're wanting to use to create the search bar and its interaction with the API, and specific problems you run into while working on it, this community will be much more likely to help you. Questions to point you to a free source for the finished code of your project are not likely to get very far though.
Based on your previous questions, it seems likely that you are using Wordpress. If that's the case, and you don't know how to write the scripts to interact with the API then the easiest answer to your question by far is to either buy a plugin (perhaps the one you linked) or hire someone to write one. If you'd like to learn, there are a lot of resources online to help you start learning to write WP plugins.

How to get Author data into Google search results without Microformats?

First, I apologize if this is not considered programming related enough for some peoples taste, however I feel it is appropriate as my question is related to what you put in a websites markup, I think so anyways.
Ok so I searched Google for the term dribbble invite and on page 2 of my results, or at this URL Google result the 5th result on page 2 (will probably be different for you based on your location and other factors) There is a result like the image below
Notice the author Photo and name. I am looking for how to do this with a website? From my research in the past it looks like it is done with Microformats however a search through the source code of the page HERE does not appear to be using any Microformats.
Any idea how this is happening for that website?
Typically, this is done through Google+.
There's a pretty good article on how-to here :

What tools exist to find frequencies of searches

I'm new to seo, so please excuse what may be a very basic question.
I want to count (or estimate) the number of times that a given search phrase has been searched within a particular time period. Are there any API's out there for this? Does Google (or any other relevant search engine) release this information?
Any helpful links are greatly appreciated.
I'll be using Java, though I doubt that makes much difference.
I'm not aware of any API for it, but you can use Google Insights for Search
I use link text
it also presents the volume for every search
It looks like the WordTracker API might be the best took for programmatically finding search data.
