IMO, if you don't find it on the first page, we have a problem with
the search engine... not a display problem. If I can't get something
good out of google in the first page (100 items), I usually rework my
seach expression before going to the next page.

But we should not restrict how people wish to work.
If people want to see the next pages of results, let them do it.

I think this is an important thing to do, i.e. it should be done
before next official release.

But I think there is other stuff more urgent at moment. Mainly things
Chads proposed to do in earlier email.

To this effect changed severity back up, but dropped priority.
