=== Conclusions ===
* It's all about the first 3 search results.  When users look at Google search results, they focus on the first 3 search results.  Consider inquisitor-style interface, but with page title blue and URL green for information differentiation and consistency with Google.
* Search results under search box doesn't have enough display space.  Possible solutions:
** Ability to manually resize search box
** Dynamically resizing of the search box (if the string is too long for the box, the box automatically expands to the left)
** Shrink/hide address bar when using search bar
* Showing too much in the search results output can be intimidating to the user
** Having richer search results would make searches slower, especially with "search as you type"
* Search result features such as bookmarks, preview search results, rich results, etc. should be configurable or an extension
