One of the Interface Hall of Shame's criticisms against the Windows 95
search tool is that it resizes itself after the search -- the window
gets bigger when the results are shown, and if you have positioned the
window near the bottom of the screen, results will likely be shown
off-screen, so there is a danger of not getting feedback that the search
completed and results were found. Have you considered this? What is your
opinion?
