When new results are loaded a notification needs to be sent out to the user

we should "display a notification" (we don't need to send one, as the server is already "sending" the results, and that message tells the client when to notify the user). I think that a flash message might work nicely for this, and to confirm for the user that their query/results are saved (#42). This looks like a good choice: http://sachinchoolur.github.io/angular-flash/

consider also having the background of the new results fade from some light color to the normal appearance when they first arrive.

consider reading http://www.nganimate.org/ 2 sections: "CSS Class Names" and "CSS Transition" in the last snippet of css there:

.animate-enter {
  -webkit-transition: 1s linear all; /* Chrome */
  transition: 1s linear all;
  opacity: 0;
}

.animate-enter.animate-enter-active {
  opacity: 1;
}

consider changing the opacity to background a la:

.animate-enter {
  -webkit-transition: 1s linear all; /* Chrome */
  transition: 1s linear all;
  background-color: #e7e7e7;
}

.animate-enter.animate-enter-active {
  background-color: inherit;
}
