Thanks!

> We've also added a "preview" capability (the looking-glass icon after the
> article title) if you want to view the article without leaving the search
> website. Is that useful?

> One big change is the inclusion of the Ohio Digital Library as a target, so
> ebooks are included in search results. Is this a good thing?
