I actually find the horizontal / multi column results search a lot
more natural in this kind of setting. usually the summary section
isn't necessary for most searches, so changing the format to a more
blocky, horizontal grouping might actually be beneficial. Since
users have to read the results in any case, their eyes are already
moving horizontally, so the idea of putting the top results in a
shoulder-to-shoulder seems like a natural. There are bad ways of
doing that, of course.
But from a purely visual (non interaction) design point of view, the
entry page seems somehow.... wrong. Maybe that's just because
current vogue and standard is an open, airy, white-space style
search page.
Right now the major problem seems to be server overload so it is
tough to see how responsive the site will be.

The UI design is interesting as well. Multi-column search layouts
have typically not fared very well at scale, though I personally
like them just fine.
It seems that avoiding a costly scroll for examining more results
would be a win, but people are quite use to a single column and it
makes the ad placement tricker.
