- displaying more search results per page
- allow navigation between search results with less mouse movement
- simplifying the displayed search results
- accessing search gridwell directly from the browser
site icons
If a website domain uses an icon (called favicon.ico), then this icon is
displayed next to the search results, to help identify useful sites. Websites that
use this icon can be found by looking next to the website URL in the browser
toolbar. For example looking at the URL in browser toolbar for this page you can
see a small icon 
to the left
of the URL, this icon is the one used against the search results.
more search results per page
The search box is on the right of the page as opposed to the top of the page. This allows more results to be displayed on a page at a given time without the need to scroll through the results, so you can get to the relevent search results quicker.
less mouse movement
You can navigate through the results without having to move the mouse, so you can get to the relevent search result quicker.
simplifying the displayed search results
The most useful information is returned in the search results which are
- title of web link
- description of web link
- name of website that link is from
- icon if available from website that link is from
access from browser
