Hmmm, I thought the new design was giving me no result when I search,
but rather just redisplaying the same page.

However, I again searched for my own home phone number, scrolled way
down the page, and there it was.

Tried again, searching for the person I actually want to find, scroll
down, it's blank. Scroll some more, and suspect I saw a snippet of
text. Did Ctrl-A, and, aha, it must have been white text on a white
background, for I now see text saying the number is ex-directory.

Tiresome.
