I search Twitter a lot for information on a particular hash-tagged topic specific to the financial services industry. A couple of Twitter users have hijacked the topic and are spamming multiple posts per day using the hashtag in question.
I tried doing a block but apparently that only prevents them from seeing my posts. I want to block their posts from appearing in my search results. Is there a way to do this?
I typically use the Twitter web site directly or if on an iMac, Twitterific.

In Twitteriffic, to "Mute" users i.e hide their tweets from your search, follow the steps here
But what I'd recommend you to use is Tweetdeck. It works on Windows or Mac as it's its pretty good client with good mute filers.
Have a look at this screenshot:
They won't be up showing on your TL anymore.
