For those who are interested, here is a blog post about this script written by one user. Thanks to Virzin for introducing the script to more people. http://scrapur.com/index/internet/multi-column-...

Update(2009-10-08): Fix the script to work with Google Search's Ajax version which might also be related to the issue reported by yugushen & hsrstud some time back.

Update(2009-08-25): Relax the URL checking which might cause some problems for international users. Thanks to yugushen & hsrstud for reporting this.
