Something unimportant to drop onto the 'fix it sometime' list:
I'm set up for 40 stories per page (SPP) of results in the account preferences (I'd have preferred 35, but 40 is the best for me of the available values). Doing a quicksearch which gives more than 10 results but less than the SPP value (e.g., battlemage) gives, in this case, a result page with (correctly) all the results (31 of them), but also at the bottom of this page, (incorrectly) a row of results page buttons [1]..[4], where all but the first button (correctly) give a results page with a blank results area. It looks like the calculation of the number of buttons to show is using the default 10 per page, rather than the user-set value from the account preferences, which is (correctly) used for generating the pages of results. I've not checked, but I would expect that other SPP values and numbers of results would show similar symptoms.
