Search Results Page Decoration

Xmarks utilizes a corpus of bookmarks to decorate a user's Google Results Page. I designed and usability tested a variety of prototypes.

One of the ideas we had for decorating a user's Google Results page was to add an icon next to the results that appeared in our bookmark database. Rolling over the icon brought up more information on the site including reviews, a thumbnail, description etc. I usability tested a few of the iterations and found some usability issues but also got qualitative information on whether or not this type of treatment would be successful.
