EDIT

In the wonderful world of bad ideas, Twitter is sunsetting this answer, as of May 2013, and will require, at minimum, that you either use one of their widgets, and shoehorn it in, or that you set up an application and do application-level authentication, even for public-timeline GET requests.

If they change their mind, or delay the throwing of the switch, this will at least continue to be here.

Use the Search API:

"http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=nerdswguitars"

You can use the URL-encoded # or @ in front of search terms. You can also use keywords like from or to, and specify limits, et cetera.
