Subject: Search Results Hard to Follow

Staff at AllRecipes.com --

When I did a search in your shopping area/kitchenware for "salt" (I collect salt and pepper shakers), I enjoyed the fact that you showed me how many results turned up in each category. That's a nifty feature.

However, I was confused as to whether or not I was viewing all the results on the first page.

The text "Items 1 to 20 of 160" and "Next 20" blend in with the categorized results list and I was at first unable to distinguish from the rest of the text. I thought, "That's funny. It says there are 109 results in Casual China. This doesn't seem like 109 items." It took an active search to locate the "next" text. I think you should isolate this link from the rest of the results text.
