You can use phantomJs or casperJs (install them with npm) for scraping site but in this time some sites use distill-network to prevent or block scraping bot . in your problem you have two solution the clean and easy one :

• access tweeter RestAPI .
• if this not work with you . you may try to scrape twitter with your twitter account you will entering your info in the header of your phantomjs bot then browse search page and fill the form with casperjs and submit it you can make this process dynamically and view the return data to store in db or view in node web app here is an example http://code-epicenter.com/how-to-login-to-twitter-using-casperjs-and-phantomjs-and-extract-tweets/ and https://gist.github.com/nwaomachux/35d1c424966fccd16ae1
