If i understand correctly, you're trying to search for tweets containing a specific #hashtag, authored uniquely by certain list members?

If this is the case, say for example your looking for the hashtag #COVID19 relayed only by @Twitter's list of official Twitter accounts, you could do it with the following Twitter search query:

#COVID19 list:84839422

Try it...

The structure is quite simple...

[#hashtag] list:[list_id]

You can find list IDs by looking at the URL line in the browser when opening lits on Twitter. For example, here is the URL of @Twitter's official accounts liss:

https://twitter.com/i/lists/84839422

The list ID are the digits after the last /.

There doesn't seem to be a way to directly search twitter lists using the widget. If you look at the "operators" link on this page: https://twitter.com/#!/search-home

You can use "from:userid OR from:userid2 #hashtag" to search for #hashtag tweets from specific users, and hashtags work fine - so you could manually build a search for a list if you wanted.

You can see what operators search can take by looking at the advanced search page here: https://twitter.com/#!/search-advanced
