Hi, I have been running some tests to gather tweets from users within a geo area using both the search API (with the geocode parameter) and the streaming API (with the statuses/filter method & locations parameter).
I have noticed that the streaming API returns far less tweets for an equivalent area expressed either as a latlong+radius for the search API or as a bounding box for the streaming API. Is this normal or should we expect a similar result set with both methods? In the doc it says that the streaming API will only return tweets that are created using the Geotagging API (and within the bounding box) but the search API will preferentially use the Geotagging API, but will fall back to the Twitter profile location. Can this explain why I see much more results with the search API?
