No problem, Sean. Given the weirdness Michael spoke of and we've all seen today you may or may not have seen everything that's come down the pipe yet. I know it was very presumptuous of me to go and do a mockup of your web site ( a followup to Rafael's) but heck, I have a copy of Photoshop and

Wow. Great effort. This demonstrates that you don't need a screenwide result display to get a decent look with enough text to actually eval the item. I'd maybe try and skrunch your search bar vertically a tad to try and eke out a 4th result onscreen. I'm reasonably sure you could do it by

In the space at right you could have a list of tags you've looked at in detail recently (i.e. last few weeks). I guess we've all experienced trying to think what our search terms were so we could get the same results for the product that we forgot the name of but looked at just a few days ago.

Sean, I have created one suggested layout design for the Exchange search results page. It does still leave room for the Top Picks on the right, however we're expressing that we don't see the point of this in a Search Results page. A major part of this is that I would venture to guess that

Another interesting idea, yes. Part of the problem here is that there would need to be some internal review of comments (to remove obscene comments or ones that might cause legal issues!). Internal review requires people and that's always expensive. However, I've forwarded this to the
