You're the man Chris! I love the fact that the shorter labels for the set items display much better then page titles, the way they are displayed in the not yet publicised TGGoogleBrowser I don't know how generic I can make this type of applet since every application seems to demand it's own set of features. For instance for the GoogleBrowser it makes sence to have a filer to display just the first N links returned.

For the google-set-vista, I was thinking that a neat feature would be to add memory of the previously selected node to the query. Basically, when someone starts with REBOL, and then double clicks on Python, the query sent to google should include both the terms. Then, when someone clicks on the next link, Python should be included as the other search term. Perhaps you only need to do this if the first and second term are connected by an edge.

The other question is how best to display the terms. It seems that a method that you should consider for the Two-word seed, is to create an anonimous node between the two that would have short edges going out to the two seed terms, and longer ones to the rest of the members in the set. This might be too complex though (though not undoably complex), so I guess that just adding the edges to the secont term clicked would be ok.

You joke, but I am thinking of serious applications here. Now I just have to figure out what they are :) Seriously though, I am sure that there are plenty.
