Background: While using the new, improved Super Search page today, I was confused by the fact that I wasn't getting any results. I would click the submit button, and change windows to do something else while I waited for the results. When I came back, it looked like it had ignored my clicking of the submit button. After doing this 2 or 3 times, I finally figured out what was wrong.

The Problem: Super Search is returning it's results at the bottom of the page, rather then a new page as it used to do. If your screen size is just right, as mine was, you have no indication, other then the browser scroll bar, that there are results below the bottom edge of the screen.

The Solution: What I would like to see is some indication at the top of the page that your results have appeared at the bottom of the page. Seeing a result count at the top would just be extra gravy.
