its not finding any of the dozen searches I ran.

also is there a reason why most of the examples have to do with Australia?

You can see what they index here: http://adioso.com/about?r=hf - which is growing.

(They're an Aussie startup).

I think they are from Australia. I see a lot of different asia countries in the list too.

Spot on. The flights are pretty much all australia/south-east asia at the moment. We're not officially launched yet (I'm co-founder at Adioso, btw) and site is in beta using a subset of full airline data, hence the lack of results people have noticed for USA/etc.

It wasn't intended that we'd really be used outside of Australia yet, but demo day has had some interesting publicity side effects :)
