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 sampling the streaming API is a decent alternative for already popular clients, but will yield inaccurate results for new clients, because their tweets are easily submerged in the stream.
