Amir an example http://search.twitter.com/search?q=github+from%3Alebreeze+OR+matthewrudy shows all the tweets about github from myself and my friend Levent. Although with 32000 usernames I imagine it wont be fast, and you'd have to iterate over 320 requests to /statuses/followers.xml in order to grab all their usernames.

Yeah. I imagine the search functionality is actually done using lucene, and some sort of facets? Or at least it'd make sense given the nature of the search, and the fact that the query language looks like lucene syntax. Not that I've worked with such big fulltext searching, but our search of 30,000 jobs is incredibly slow once you start adding criteria (especially range queries). With twitters one billion messages I'm sure the game changes quite a lot.
