Would this web site idea, if desirable, be easy to implement?

The tiny numbers are just what makes it a little error-prone for me 
sometimes to get the next page.  But it's the lack of Previous/Next links 
that strikes me as ... well ... less-than-friendly, for a search engine.  I 
mostly use Google, but I checked AltaVista, Yahoo!, Lycos, About.com, 
Windows Live Search, HotBot ... I couldn't find any popular Internet search 
engine that _doesn't_ have a set of links like

                Previous   3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13    Next

(with varying numbers of numbered page links between the "Previous" and 
"Next" links/buttons).

Okay.  I'll hush about it.  :-)

Thanks,
