If you are looking to create an index for a specific game then you would probably be better off querying `/streams` with the `game` parameter rather then using `/search/streams`.

Ex: `https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?game=Dota%202`

Searching may take additional factors into account than just the set game and provide different results.
