Well, it's because if it were fixed at the top of the screen, it would
cover the header/logo of the wiki. I tried it in early theme
development but it looks pretty weird.

Well, it shows 10 results *per page*, rather than 10 in total, no?
That's the same number that regular google shows per page, and I think
it's a sensible number. What are the reasons that you would like more
than 10?
I would have thought that if we can't show the right results in the
top 10 for a particular search, then the search itself isn't working
properly (and we're still working on the actual search mechanism...)

Hmm, that's really weird. I wonder if it could be a Konqueror bug.

This is also really odd, and doesn't sound like it has anything to do
with the theme. I can't really think what the cause might be. It
hasn't happened to you on the other theme? Did it pass or is it still
happening?

Well, the theme design (both in terms of screen space and link colour)
comes from the main Ubuntu website... Achieving consistency with that
was the main point of the theme design.
