Been tweakin’ my life away with my silly google-in-a-frame portal. You put your search request into a top-left frame. It then drops google results in small little nuggets down a thin left pane, under the request. When you hover over each link, it gives you the link google details in a tooltip (ala DHTML). When you click, of course, the right pane fills with the result. You can flip around in the results at lightning speed. Next I think I might try working on prefetching the first few results. I’m trying to get to the maximum google consumption rate that my brain can manage. Let me know what you think so far…

    Nice work. However, it never works on the 2nd search. Doesn’t like to repeat on my machine. There should be a way to hide the search frame…

    I think maybe the DNS records still need propogating, and that’s slowing it down for you? That’s my excuse for now anyway!

    1) USE FIREFOX! :>
    2) Just hold down Ctrl while clicking a result, it will open in a new tab.
