I'm confused now. Which API should I use Streaming or Search?
What I want is to monitor Twitter and every time someone uses certain
words (maybe a total of about 20 words that I want to monitor
continuously), I want to show the tweet on the screen (or record it
into database)
Should I use search
stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json
track=keyword1,keyword2
etc.

Every account has default-level access.

Real time tracking is best done with Streaming, but can be done with
Search. Historical search back in time is done only with Search and
only covers the indexed tweets that Twitter makes available.
Long-term historical search can be done with Topsy, but I'm not
familiar with the details.
Sorry for asking all these questions, but what is the sample endpoint?
Does it contain real tweets or just some sample tweets for testing
purposes only?

Basically: sample will send you 1% of all tweets that are sent. ;-)
However: I believe that you will want to use filter.json. Taylor forgot
to mention that filter.json is also free to use.
Sample URL which uses filter :
http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=Twitter
