Busy.org for non-exist account

Using Busy.org to access a non-exist account, it doesn't tell us this account does not exist. Instead, it shows 'searching...' as if it's searching or loading this page.

Using Busy.org to access the following page: https://busy.org/@notexist
In which, he account of notexist@notexist does not exist. We get the following screenshot:

In the above screenshot, the highlighted area shows 'searching...' and gray boxes appear on the window

Behavior of Steemit.com

On the other hand, Steemit.com can tell whether the account exists or not. Using Steemit.com to access the same account, https://steemit.com/@notexist
We get the following screenshot:
Screen Shot 2017-12-04 at 11.00.27 AM.png

Steemit.com shows clearly 'This page doesn't exist.'

For this situation, Busy.org should show the account doesn't exist as Steemit.com does.
