Title:
  gwibber stores extreme number of messages in gwibber.sqlite

Status in Gwibber:
  New
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  I noticed that ~/.config/gwibber/gwibber.sqlite is > 640 MB big!

  Having only run gwibber for a few months and not having posted or
  received more than a few hundred Twitter messages I was puzzled and
  took a deeper look in the database. To my surprise I find that gwibber
  has some 340,000 messages stored in the 'messages' table, complete
  with message text, of which only a small fraction are from me or to
  me.

  It looks like the bulk of the messages is the result of 'search'
  operations. Needless to say, I find this storing of messages extremely
  wasteful of disk space. It could easily lead to users running out of
  space on their home partition. I don't know if I'm using gwibber in
  the wrong way, but that doesn't really matter.
