You would have urls in on the page that when you clicked them executed the search. They can click a link right?

Re: [DISCUSS] Guideline for "professional support" Mentioning on Homepage
My two cents; you could recommend that companies that has commercial support to use a unique name on their offering/landing page that gets picked up by search engines and let the general public know what that word is...

Maybe I need to rephrase my last sentence ;-) "I am not happy to have just any company listed, even if they didn't even have any of their employees contribute anything to the project."
