However good and useful your search engine may be, in my Chrome, the whole initial page ends up in the top left corner, while the rest of the screen (about 5/6 of it) is completely blank. And when loaded, the search box doesn't have focus, so I have to move my mouse all the way up to the top left area, and click there.

Sorry, I'm not going to play with, or try anything that looks so awkward and out of place on my screen. Perhaps later, when the design and usability is better, but as long as the interface irks me, I won't care about the underlying features, either.
