@AJ Chen You are 100% correct when you say that it’s the user’s responsibility to clean up duplicates in the search results. My issue is not so much about there being duplicates, but the fact that there are so many of them. My concept of search is that if there have been new tweets posted, say 30

unless I miss something, it's usually user's responsibility to dedup returned tweets on the client side. if you see duplicates between two feeds, just remove the duplicates. this is what client application should have in any case. if you see no fresh tweets but only old tweets, there may be a

Hi, Raffi Were you able to raise the cache issue with the search team? Seems the problem is worse than I thought. I have run my script (getting 25 results from search every 15 minutes, for Mumbai) for two days. The first day had 71% duplicate results due to the caching issue, while the second day

the streaming API would be ideal for my purposes, so will eagerly wait and see what new features the twitter api dev team adds before the final release. Till then, search api is what I will use. Thanks a lot Raffi, for trying to raise the issue with the search team. Regards, Elroy On Nov 28,

Hi Elroy, I tried your query from python several times within the same minute. After running the query several times in a row I start getting fresh results and they remain fresh for a while. I tried changing the least significant decimal to make it a different query and I get stale results

Hi Everyone, I've been running my script as a cron task (every 15 minutes) since last evening. So far I've got about 1375 results logged, out of which 973 are duplicates (meaning stale entries)...a staggering 70.7076% or approximately 71%. This is way more than expected..so a shout out to the
