I prefer the text indicators used by:

    http://vivisimo.com

Unlike small icons (which quickly lose their legibility in a high
resolution display), text indicators scale very well. Vivisimo offers
various ways of opening a window:

"[New Window]" opens a window using whatever OS configuration.

"[Full Window]" opens a window in full screen.

"[Preview]" open a window within the result listing. Very handy for
quick scan and comparison. You don't have to keep dozens of separate
windows.


You can configure Vivisimo's output via:
