How is the Search bar better than frames for search results?
Frames solve only half the problem with searching. By using a frameset, the user is always forced to give up 20 to 30 percent of the available screen space. There is no way for the user to dismiss the frame and use its screen space for the main content area. Also, framesets have a host of navigation and usability problems when they are used as a general UI mechanism. The Search bar provides a UI that the user controls. It gives users much more control over how their browser display space is used, because they can control whether the Search bar is visible.
