We need to check how this looks where the screen is a little smaller, and there are 5 results. We actually can get more than 5 results when there are redirects. Is the idea that the dialog resizes as the results change?

If we consider the height of this dialog to be max 400px which should be fit on smallest screen with enough article padding around it, we can fit 4 and a half list items in this. and if we have cut of at half of last list item, it suggests that the list is scrollable internally.

We need some more views with different results sets. How does this look with 0,1,2,3,4,5 search results? Do we leave whitespace or expand the dialog? What if we expand off the bottom of the screen?
