Broken? Just keeps reloading the search and telling me I'm disconnected

It took 37 requests and 14 seconds to get me any kind of result. That needs to be about 13 seconds faster for me to actually use it more than once for novelty.

It's not yet fine tuned for that kind of speed. The real site will have these issues addressed.

We ran into some issues yesterday but they have been fixed. Try it again and you will get better results. Also this is just a preview demo. A new and better interface is coming soon. You can follow us on twitter (http://twitter.com/collectadotcom) for more announcements.
