Crawl Facebook's Search Engine

Hi everyone, I'm trying to crawl Facebook's search engine to get a list pages matching a pattern (eg. "vuitton")
Im using ruby on rails with the Mechanize Gem to do it.
I have no problem logging into facebook however i'm being disconnected randomly as soon as i try to use the search form. I mean that I have no problem getting a response from Facebook's search engine on the first time. I'm only disconnected as soon as I launch a 2nd query search
any advice ?
