Just went through the post again and found:

We create a tweet list as follows:

tweets = extractor.user_timeline(screen_name="realDonaldTrump", count=200)
print("Number of tweets extracted: {}.\n".format(len(tweets)))

We print the most recent 5 tweets:

print("5 recent tweets:\n")
for tweet in tweets[:5]:
print(tweet.text)
print()

Which I've replaced with:
tweets = extractor.search(input("Topic you want to analyze: "))

Perhaps I need to play with this, if I can't figure it out, I'll re-ask. Lol my apologies!

Fixed w/ very simple:
tweets = extractor.search(input("Topic you want to analyze: "), count=200)

Thanks!

Although, even with count=200, this retrieves 100 tweets only.

Is there a way to refresh and retrieve more?

Thanks again!
