Hi Shan, The Search API is anonymous so authenticating makes no difference to the rate limit there. If you are requesting a lot of information from the search API you may want to look at the streaming API instead: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api
The majority of search cases can be handled by the default filter limits available through the streaming API.
