FWIW, I don't think many people do that any more. If they're not sure, they just open a few results in new tabs until they get the one they wanted.

If by "people" you mean "people like you", then you MIGHT be right. If you did $25/head usability testing with normal people, I'd wager less than 5% would do this-- or even know that it COULD be done.

yeah sorry you're probably right. Seems most people don't really mind clicking back if they clicked on the wrong result.

Speaking of tabs, I often use the middle mouse button to open a link in a new tab. While you can left click anywhere on the text to open in the current window, the only place you can middle click is on the small link itself. This feels a bit inconsistent.

Also, the search box is too small for entering anything more than a few words.

On the positive side, the expanded text summaries are nice to find relevant content faster.

Most techies maybe, but not most people.

Maybe people like us -- I don't think most people know about tabs.
