right, I agree.

What if those icons above are just added to the current beagle-search UI
at the top of the results. It gives a quick overview, but all results
are shown below as they are now. By clicking on a icon, the result list
jumps down to the respective group. The user does not need to scroll,
and scrolling is more effort than one click ;-)
