Quality of search results wasn't very high.

Quantity of ads on page was quite high.

Presentation made it difficult to skim the results.

Thanks. With regards to difficulty skimming: Is this because there'a a larger gap between results, or characteristics of the font, ...?

I think the gap helps, actually.

I think it's more just the length and repetitiveness of the links... like if I search for Yelp my first result is:

Yelp by Yelp app Detail :: 148 Apps: iPhone Application and Game Reviews And news.....

Maybe it'd work better if you highlighted the search terms?

Got it. Yes highlighting and trimming long titles should help with that. Thanks.
