I've slapped together a little 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.
Try it here.
The html and perl code is here. Consider it GPL'ed. My search form (portal_nav.html) feeds into the perl processor (google_framed_results.pl), which takes the request, forms an official google request, gets the result, and parses it into the desired result.
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…
