All that about hitting the first result early and separating search are things I only hear about from some Web 2.0 AJAX nightmare where you display things once you fetch them in theory but end up running a lot slower, or something where they try to sort things by relevance, though you don't really need to separate search for that. I try not to have javascript on for most things, especially when browsing the archives, but I didn't see any web 2.0 horrors there.
