Only "Locations" kinds of data? And the search is awful- it couldn't find anything for McDonalds for example (http://aggdata.com/search/node/McDonalds)

I was hoping to use it as a possible alternative to http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/ for ML data sets but now I am kind of disappointed.

I just used the search to find 'mcdonald' and it came right up with the McDonalds data.
