Things to know: The stream is throttled, otherwise it was just scrolled too fast for popular terms.
Searches are additive so OWS + BASEBALL probably won't have may results even though they will separately.
You can toggle on and off search terms or remove them completely. Try backspacing once you have a few terms in. Lat,Long searches can't have a space after the comma. If they do they will be treated as a keyword (e.g. -36.34,85.23)
