You basically have to suck the firehouse (or use search or whatever)
to get all the tweets, then unshorten (& canonicalize) them to build
your OWN search index. I have a huge system that does this for the
BuzzRadius-based sites (like http://STLTweets.com or http://loufesttweets.com
). It's not trivial, and there are lots of gotchas to watch for like
Facebook login gateways and such.

That said, the best simple unshortener in my experience (beyond just
crawling the link) is UnTiny.me http://www.untiny.me/ (the API is
fast and very reliable).
