Results from the Search API should be delayed only by a few seconds during normal operations. If there's some operational issue, search can get behind, but this should be fairly rare.
The lowest latency API is the Streaming API. Results are often available here before they are published onto timelines, and generally before Search. But, we're talking by hundreds of milliseconds or low seconds. This shouldn't matter for most applications. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Twitter, Inc.
