I don't think /lookup is working properly. #22

What steps will reproduce the problem (provide an exact http api call where
appropriate)?
1. Try http://api.bit.ly/v3/lookup?url=http://www.53crestdr.com/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It returns one result: "http://bit.ly/djoycQ"
Yet I've encoded it with this link: http://bit.ly/9BbEB2
I would expect to see http://bit.ly/9BbEB2 returned as well.

This can be really helpful to track how much time the links are shared across 
social networks. Right now the redundant bit.ly links generate issues.

/v3/lookup is an API endpoint to lookup a bit.ly identifier which can then be 
used to query stats about that linke (ie: /v3/clicks). it is not a substitute 
for when you want to share a bit.ly link which is when you would use 
/v3/shorten.

It is intended that this does not return the user's bit.ly link for a given 
long url (which may or may not exist) or return information about other users 
bit.ly links for a given long url.
