We would lose all the annotations on the services if we did this.

The main point of doing this 'simple view' work was to improve the
performance of the search results page AND provide a much less cluttered
view. If I start adding more than 1 service description and sources then
we'll very quickly get back to what we had for the 'detailed view'.

In terms of the defaults for consistency - note that the site remembers
which view you last used, so consistency can easily be broken by the
user. In any case I could change the default view for search to be the
'detailed view' initially, but I doubt that people will then ever use
the simple view...
