[IxDA Discuss] Fwd: search results display

[Sunandini Basu]

This may be a stupid question but it leaves me stumped!

Why does google (and other search engines) display the url under each search
result? I mean, it's already hyperlinked to the search result title, right?
Why spend extra line space for each result? Does it help the user to know
the url of the page he may go to?
Any answers?


e.g

culture site with literature from Lao Zi to the present day. Individual *
Chinese* characters linked to English translation.
