How can I use Twitter Search API (or other) to get a list of tweets which have the "geo" param?

How many Tweets are geotagged?

Previous studies demonstrate that approximately 0.85% of tweets are geotagged, meaning that the exact position of where the tweeter was when the tweet was posted is recorded using longitude and latitude measurements [16]. Only tweets with original content can be geotagged.

Looks like the latest API supports that; simply use a large enough geo region for your query:

-180,-90,180,90
