It seems to work well - it is nice to see some snippets coming back, not 
just the path/filename.

A couple of minor thoughts for your consideration

1. Would be useful to have a link at the top of each results page to 
allow user to refine their search

2. Might be better UI to display snippets as bullets. That way clients 
that prettily handle them will be able to show them nicely. I dont think 
it matters to enumerate them 1 to 5.

3. Is there a way for the user to lengthen the snippets, perhaps there 
could be some alternative URLs that allow longer or shorter results shown.

4. Maybe there needs to be some pagination of the results if too many 
are shown, or maybe that is not a problem yet...

otherwise - keep up the good work!
