I'm fetching your timeline, you friends timelines, and indexing them with IndexTank.

It's incremental, so it may take a while. There's a limited number of allowed twitter API calls per hour, so in case you have lots of friends it'll take some time to have them all indexed.

About the status, there's a status bar on the upper right corner.

And you keep them even after they fall from Twitter search or the user timeline right, so eventually you'll be able to find tweets that are otherwise unreachable right?

I keep all the tweets. So the answer is Yes, you'll be able to find tweets that twitter's search does not let you find.
