SD: I understand your point, but I think it could bring less confusion to users to have the results numbered in a certain way. In that case, you are sure that you are reading the next result when seeing the next number. 



>>SD: Do I have the same result if I click on the link "search all W3C mailing lists" or if I check the checkbox "search all W3C mailign lists"?

>SLH: There is a checkbox for "WAI Mailing Lists". The link to "Search All W3C Mailing Lists" goes to a different search interface.


SD: to my opinion this should be explained somewhere in the search help. This would avoid confusing the user. 

>Question: How often do most people use the Advanced Search in everyday searching? e.g., http://www.google.com/advanced_search

SD: I don't have statisticds. I only know that I don't use it very often, but it can be useful when you fell that you get too many results.
