If you search for a hashtag, it automatically gives you the resutls for "Top"

You need to switch to "Latest". I did that and am seeing results from 1m 15m 20m 20m and 34m. I assume the lack of tweets is because it's early morning right now in North America.

Thank you for the reply and input. You are correct about the sorting, and my initial post was clumsy in explaining what I was seeing. I was observing tweets that would show, and it you refreshed, some of them would be gone (when you scrolled down to the time they were sent). This is not obvious unless you open to tabs to compare results, showing that some that had shown were missing. The bigger issue is shadow banning. I explain it at length later in this post, but here is a way to see it:

Just yesterday, this account (obamatruth1) put out 18 tweets related to #missingdcgirls.

Go to Twitter advanced search (https://twitter.com/search-advanced?lang=en)) and search on this hashtag #missingdcgirls and "From these account" enter obamatruth1. You will see that it shows ZERO results despite the fact that 18 such tweets were sent from that account yesterday
