why is it that the linq2Twitter API only stores one image as a MediaURL in the Entity class even there are surly two images in a particular tweet?
This is the tweet "https://t.co/VoxCtVl2k1" that I am debbugung in the screenshot. It has two pictures but the fully qualified URL is only for the first one accessible?
Please look under ExtendedEntities, which is a newer object in the Twitter API.
On Search queries, the Twitter API has a bug that hasn't been resolved. Please visit and like the following issue in their forums:

LINQ to Twitter does support the include_entities parameter, like this:
Search searchResponse =
await
(from search in twitterCtx.Search
where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
search.Query == searchTerm &&
search.IncludeEntities == true
select search)
.SingleOrDefaultAsync();
As I said earlier, this isn't working. A potential work-around is to use a Status/Lookup query, like this:
List<Status> tweets =
await
(from tweet in twitterCtx.Status
where tweet.Type == StatusType.Lookup &&
tweet.TweetIDs == "460788892723978241,462758132448362496,460060836967768064"
select tweet)
.ToListAsync();
To make this work, find all of your tweets in the search response that have media and collect their IDs. Then combine those into a comma-separated list and assign to TweetIDs. Remember that you can only do a lookup of 100 IDs at a time.
