Search API can return only 1500 recent tweets. Real pain is you have to poll the API 15 times (rpp=100)
Look into the Streaming API. There are lower access levels which can give you certain proportion of tweets. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-sample But for getting all tweets, you will require Firehose access level. Remember, you will have keep listening to the Streaming server for 30 seconds, inorder to receive tweets posted during that period.
