search results to increase to a point where you're getting regular
rate limiting (as :) and :( can certainly do that), I'd recommend
looking into the Streaming API now. You'll have to add a lot of extra
parsing and joining on you
Thanks for the feedback.
Implementing the API was a lot easier then expected, my code is rather
modular, so replacing the search component is easy.
I only need one more step that actually breaks down the single stream
output into matches per search I want to do. While it's an extra step

c) You have search nee
Your assumption is correct. You'll have to do your own parsing.
