Why can Selenium not access these dynamically loaded elements?

Question

There should be seven elements whose class is “top_search”. However, an empty list is printed with the following despite using implicitly_wait:

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get('http://www.egglandsbest.com/where-to-buy/') 
print driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div[class="top_search"]')

You need to switch to an iframe:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.get("http://www.egglandsbest.com/where-to-buy/")
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_id("destini"))
print driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="top_search"]')

I just had a quick look at the source to pull that,there are numerous iframes so you will have to sift through and see which ones you need.
