how can we do the following : to change the keyword inside setTrack() without disconnecting the twitter streaming api. and then the streaming api should search the new tags.

I am also wondering how this can be done? I'm pulling my keywords in from a database and that database can change frequently.

Anyone else know the answer to this?

I don't believe this is possible. Tags are set on a per connection basis, so you have to disconnect/reconnect.

I would recommend doing this periodically (maybe every 5 minutes or so), as otherwise you'll hit connection rate limits and your account will be banned.
