I haven’t styled it, but here is a preview of what it sorta might look like 🙂

Is it limited to 5 results? Is there no way to get other search results? How is it ranked? How are the results divided? Why are the results for “senocular” so weird 😛

All great questions that I have zero answers for. I will look into that shortly 😀

I fiddled with the results a bit more, and I filtered out a lot of noise from what gets returned. There is still some work to do, but it should be better now than it was earlier.

After having tweaked a bit here and there for the past few weeks, I am now a huge fan of the search results. That’s partly why I made search front-and-center on the header as opposed to being a bit smaller. Maybe it needs to be smaller, but that’s something to fiddle with for later 😛
