[Sigia-l] seeking rules

[Heller, David]

Ah! You were using the word 'page' to mean 'screen'. A frameset in your
language = 'page'. I was thinking of it in terms of a new page = a roundtrip
click to the server.

I think we're talking about different things here. You have a 'page' that
includes a search facility that returns results. You're saying that the
result set may be very large. I'm not questioning that. You obviously show
chunks (just like Google does) *in the same 'page'* if, for example, you
used frames, Flash, QuickTime or the app wasn't in HTTP/HTML. You designate
a *fixed* are for the display of the result set. The contents of that area
could be anything, depending on how you coded the page. You do *not* need to
branch out into *separate* pages -- my point.

If you used the marvelously simple Watson 'one page' interface none of this
would be a problem :-)

I'm jesting.
