Simple, clean design. This is how I like to see it done.

And there still is. Some of my bets would be on semantic (ontology identification and interaction), multilingual/multicultural (IMHO huge), local-machine personalized, further processing integration (local or cloud: visualization / result manipulation / statistics / monitoring), reputation and other metric system integration for result entities.
Check out the source code, old HTML tags
I love how every anchor has a line break. I wonder what browser bug forced them to do that...
Looks like standard 80-character wrapping to me. I don't see linebreaks on this file, for instance: view-source:http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Helping.html
There are no <BR> tags in the source, and <DT> is not a line break.
I think it's more to do with this sort of thing:

There's technology to enable for most webapps (form processing), and search engines right there. And of course, "Gateways: JANET and DECnet for example" are a "Real need."
Really makes you wonder whether the priority decisions you made today will seem similarly ludicrous in 30 years.
