Fun...but I'm not understanding why search results just randomly pop up and block the action? I was thinking that somehow the search results would be the "asteroids" you blow up

This is just what it does: You shoot a result and it will be displayed and be added to your score-list.

(Please mind the parody on stepwise disclosure: Hit once to see the rank, hit twice for the originating host, and finally hit a third time to reveal the abstract and to add this item to your score. So each asteroid has a result item associated to it and you will see results in the order as you shoot them. You may click the scores' title to re-order them by rank.)

Right - that makes it a little less fun that it otherwise might be methinks
