I agree with Kevin, and not being able to open a new window after a search has been one of my biggest gripes ever since the flash exchanges showed up.
Another VERY annoying feature of the flash exchange is that the fonts are so very small and there is no way to override them. In IE viewing a normal html page you can bump the font size up quite a bit, and with NS you can really zoom in (you can also overide styles, but not with flash). If I were still 25 years old and had great vision, then the flash font size would not be an issue, but my 46-year old eyes have a hard time focusing on the small text. What ever happened "Accessibility on Macromedia.com"? http://www.macromedia.com/help/accessibility.html It seems the exchanges do not require accessibility. Because of the above issues I only look on the exchanges if I have exhausted all other avenues.
