I'm really confused. I searched for "water" and it tells me I have 842 results, but then only displays 15 of them and doesn't give me any kind of paging mechanism. What gives?

Edit: I get the intended scrolling mechanism when I page down in Firefox, but not in Chrome.

My mointor is tall enough that at full screen, the entire page fits on screen and there is no scroll bar. In order to trigger the loading of additional results, I have to take the browser out of full screen, resize it to be small enough to make a scroll bar appear, and then finally scroll the page a little bit. Seems like poor design to me. It could be worked around simply by including a "load more results" button at the bottom. If the infinite scroll works, then you'll never see the button. Otherwise it will be there as a failsafe.
Sorry, my bad. fixed now.
Cool, it works now!
It is an infinite scrolling page. The rest of the results show up after you scroll down.
That's what I'm saying: they do not. At least not on Chromium 45.0.2454.101 (Developer Build) Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).
"but not in Chrome."

Sounds like you need to switch to a high performance browser. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10342407
