You will need to ensure the following values are set correctly:

var twitterAuth = require('twitter-oauth')({
        consumerKey: "ENTER CONSUMER KEY HERE", /* per appication - create a comsumer key here: https://dev.twitter.com/apps */
     consumerSecret: "ENTER CONSUMER SECRET FROM TWITTER HERE", /* create a comsumer key here: https://dev.twitter.com/apps */
      loginCallback: "http://yourdomain.com/twitter/sessions/callback",  /* internal */
   completeCallback:  "http://yourdomain.com/search/beagles"  /* When oauth has finished - where should we take the user too */
});

You will need to set up the routes:

app.get('/twitter/sessions/connect', twitterAuth.oauthConnect);
app.get('/twitter/sessions/callback', twitterAuth.oauthCallback);
app.get('/twitter/sessions/logout', twitterAuth.logout);

Then you can call the service like so:

  twitterAuth.search(req.params.term.split('|'),  req.session.oauthAccessToken, req.session.oauthAccessTokenSecret,  function(error, data) {
    res.json(data);
  });

  2. Expose redis functionality securely
