How to limit the number of tweets result of a query?

urco

Hi folks, I'm getting a list of tweets result of a "Query", but I would like get only 8 tweets...At the moment I'm getting much more (I guess 100). I have tried this code, but It doesn't working... Another question is, The tweets that Im getting with this query, are the last tweets based in...???? I dont understand what is the criteria... Thanks in advance...

void getSearchTweets() {           
  //float x=random(width);
  //float y=random(height);

  try {        
    query = new Query("love");
    query.setCount(8);    
    QueryResult result = twitter.search(query);
    //println(query.getCount());

    for (Status status : result.getTweets()) {              

      imgTemp=status.getUser().getBiggerProfileImageURL();
      img = loadImage(imgTemp, "png"); 
      pic=new circleMask(60,img,random(width), random(height));
      pic.display();
    }
  }   
  catch (TwitterException e) {            
    println("Search tweets: " + e);
  } 
  }
