User runs a search of the site directory and receives a set of results.
The buttons (or other icons) allow the user to “close” the display (see next slide) to gain some list space, or delete it altogether.
The user can scroll through the results and click on a title to go directly to that item, whether it is news, or specifications, or part image, within the catalog
