Googlibilities
I'm still waiting for someone to create a web search based on the Google API that displays results on one line only with the keyword(s) in bold. Not everyone wants to see the URL or the page file size, or even its keyword-in-context text. I fear that Google's results are becoming more and more useless due to the efforts of certain search engine optimization parties that don't mind being irrelevant (or just Google's algorithm being off. Maybe this is why some ads on Google have keywords that consistently get a +25% click-through rate - the ads are oftentimes more relevant).
Instead of scrolling further and further down a bulky search result list for many keywords that the SEO guys target, just show me more of what I want to see. I played video games when I was a kid, so my eyes are pretty quick. The 1-line trick would be useful.
This should be part of Google's user preferences, but it ain't.
Really, they need to liven up their core product and give users more options to display and sort what it does best before their search box becomes irrelevant.
