Error when searching tweets

[maelfosso]

Hi,

I always get an error when trying to search tweets about a word or an hastag.
Here is a draf of the error :

ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

    384             raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

ValueError: Unterminated string starting at: line 1 column 81399 (char 81398)

It's always about No JSON object could be decode
Any idea about to solve it please ?
