The name is good. Memorable.
The text is exactly right for a different way of looking at search results - like a little generated topical page rather than like a list of links.
Unprofessional is good! Professional = boring. Altavista was "professional".
Four good results is enough.
You aren't getting the whole "looks like a topical page" thing. The mixed sources of results are evidently nondistinct for a reason!
Yeah, the highlight is annoying. Breaks the unified flow.
Arrows are hints evidently copied from Wikipedia. It goes with the design and it's a visual hint they link off-site. Makes sense to me! Moreover, it made such immediate visual sense i didn't even see them as distinct elements until you described them.
