Thanks! The tweets are indexed in real-time but the writes to DB and rendering of pages are cached, and not updated frequently. There is a net lag of about an hour or so before the updated results are visible. On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 1:09 AM, M. Edward (Ed) Borasky zzn...@gmail.comwrote: That

I dunno if the OP just wanted an approx count of the client's tweets or the actual list of tweets. Personally, I would like to have both. It will be great if Twitter can allow search for source:myclient without requiring a keyword to be specified. even if we did support this -- you still

Search is filtered for relevance, especially on large result sets. Streaming returns complete result sets, except for rate limits. There's no predicate for searching on source in the Streaming API -- Perhaps you could take the sample feed and extrapolate? This should give you a very accurate

its true - search doesn't return all the tweets as it is returning the best tweets. unfortunately, the streaming API will not allow you to get a stream of all the tweets by source either. what are you trying to achieve? are you looking for relative volumes? if so, then just watch a sample of

What I meant was that searching with source:clientName requires atleast one keyword to be specified. Which means that you can't get all those tweets which don't have that keyword. Moreover, searching for common english words like a, an, or the (often) doesn't return any results. The idea of
