That is, I have created a Twitter list with some 100 members and would like to search for a particular word within all users of the list.

Not the most elegant solution, but you could export or copy the list as csv and add them all to the advanced search How do I search for a specific word in all tweets from a given twitter account? – batpigandme Jun 8 '13 at 13:33

it sounds like complicated – Open the way Jun 9 '13 at 8:04
Use the search string:
query list:username/listname
So for instance:
bowie list:twitter/media
https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=bowie%20list%3Atwitter%2Fmedia
If it's a private list, use the list ID (in the URL when viewing the list) instead of username/listname:
query list:1234567890

apparently, this only works for public lists. You cannot use it with your private lists. – wisbucky Nov 6 at 0:35

1@wisbucky You can use the list ID if it's a private list; added clarification to answer. Thanks! – Jay Nov 6 at 17:35

Private list search doesn't seem to work, at least not via Twitter's Developer API. I took the ID from my private list, and trying to search in the web browser for twitter.com works fine. However, in the API, it doesn't return any results. – eduncan911 Nov 13 at 22:57

thanks @Jay! Yes, the list ID works for private lists (provided you are logged in, which makes sense). – wisbucky 16 hours ago
Very similar to the answer I literally just gave at https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/45443/10707, but it's still relevent....
http://www.tweepi.com/ let's you see all of the members of a public list and, you can choose to see their bios in the table as well - more importantly you can filter on text in the bio - the screenshot shows me filtering on the keyword 'phd'
TweetDeck has an option to filter by lists.

1Please provide instructions on how to do this. Just giving an app name isn't very constructive. – Andrew Lott Oct 18 '13 at 23:30

@AndrewLott should be self-explanatory now. Hope it helps. – JustAnotherStackOverflowUser Oct 19 '13 at 6:26
