[annotator-dev] Trouble setting up local storage

Mon Mar 9 21:55:28 UTC 2015

Thanks Shauna,

When the loadFromSearch runs, it returns either a 304 or 200 type error.
Because of this, it does not report anything to the developer console. Why
it does one or the other I still don't know...  You may be onto something
with the port issues though.

The confusing part is the lack of obvious errors. Store seems to POST fine,
but does not GET from search even with a 200 error.
