For many of us, it's understood that the search results are displayed in a
buffer and not a webpage.  My point was that it might be helpful to some
users if JFW could obtain additional results if desired from the originating
source and place them in the buffer as well.  There are a couple of cases
where a link is indeed provided in the buffer to go to the site for more
information, but not all cases.  So, either that particular link, or a
button or link to display more results in the buffer would be nice.

Oh, I understand. Your concerns is over the list of information being
returned by ResearchIt, and not the history list that you have accumulated
with your various entries?

If that is the topic under discussion, then I would suspect that FS kept the
coding simple and did not allow a choice to go to the site and grab
additional elements. Keep in mind that the list is not an actual web site,
but a collection of returned results, placed into a buffer. I imagine that
FS decided to limit it to the top 10 results for the sake of simplicity.

Doesn't the list also include an option to go to the site itself? If not,
then that would be the right thing to do.

Yeah, it would be very helpful to look at all of the results.  What if I'm
looking for an address or phone number and find ten people with the same
name, but not the one I want.  I have no way to continue to look through the
list.

It would indeed be nice if the buffer would include an option to load the
next 10 or so results into the buffer.  It makes no since to me that it
might tell me there are 35 results but I can only get to the first 10.  Why
list the number of results at all if we can't see them all?  Not
complaining, just throwing it out there for discussion.

I cannot seem to get passed the 10 items in virtual buffer either.  I tried
paging up and down and tab keys to no avail.
Another question is that I did some Health searching and got results which
is very helpful.
I enter on link and get info.
I copy and paste info and email myself the info.  When I enter on a link I
get Internet script error yes or no I tried both yes and no and nothing
happened.
I use alt+control+grof key right below the escape key to exit program.  Any
ideas?
Does anyone know what link site is for research it?
