[twitter-dev] Search API or Streaming API?

2010-05-02 Thread nischalshetty
I plan to build a search engine which would utilize the search APIs. Should I be using the Twitter Search API or the Streaming API to do the same? What is the difference between the two and would the Streaming API work on the Google App Engine?
