Algorithm to find top 10 search terms in search engine

Problem : 
"You have been asked to design some software to continuously display the top 10 search terms on Google (or any other search engine). You are given access to a feed that provides an endless real-time stream of search terms currently being searched on Google. Describe what algorithm and data structures you would use to implement this. You are to design two variations: (i) Display the top 10 search terms of all time (i.e. since you started reading the feed). (ii) Display only the top 10 search terms for the past month, updated hourly. You can use an approximation to obtain the top 10 list, but you must justify your choices."
