for greasemonkey version 0.8.20080609.0 I had to change the name of the variable "parent"

var p;
for(var i = 0; i < links.snapshotLength; i++) {
link = links.snapshotItem(i);

p = link.parentNode;

if(i < half)
left.appendChild(link);
else
right.appendChild(link);
}

p.appendChild(table);

If you're curious about what it looks like, here's a screenshot:

anyone here????

thanks for the marvelous script!

can you make this script not to flash annoyingly while trying to sort the results?

thanks

looks like?

I also use the Google Auto Pager Greasemonkey script. These two scripts play well together, except that the two-column format is shown only on the first "page" of the autopager.

Ok guys i had a moment of clarity and modded the script to work as requested. Hats of to you Jeff for a great idea http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8477

I think it could work better if you used the CSS3 attributes for multiple columns, assuming the FX version being used supports it.

I use the extension Google Preview which adds a thumbnail image of the webpage next to each search result. I really love this extension but with this script I only get a preview image for half of the search results.
Is there anyway to add to this script so I can have previews for all search results?
If this script and the google preview coould work together that would be great!

For those dying for it, a quick row-wise sort:

// if(i < half)
if(!(i % 2))

But then, the "sub-links" aren't nested and the rows aren't level if the items aren't all of the same height (which they never are). I suppose that's why the author went for the columns...

Two feature requests, if I may:
- row-wise sorting
- ability to show two Google search pages on one page (of course, still in two columns) for those with bigger resolutions.

Nice script buddy, but I feel the UI would be much better and more easier if the results were sorted row-wise instead of column i.e.,

result1 result2
result3 result4
.
..
...

This way, you will not need to scroll down and then scroll all the way up to see the next set of results.

joethegreek, the file still exists but is not installed. you need to find the location of the greasemonkey scripts and go to the folder and delete it. do this by going to manage user scripts, click any script, and edit.
im using vista and mine is in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ou55aw30.default\gm_scripts\

Thank you. Can you please add

*blackboxsearch.com/*search*

as as include by default too? http://blackboxsearch .com is an anonymizing front end to google and works by just rewriting the links so most google scripts like this work.

For some reason, i get an error saying this userscript is already installed, however when i check greasemonkey, it is not listed, so I can't uninstall it and reinstall the userscript. Am I just gonna have to deal or is there a way I can overwrite that?

Very nice! Thanks!

Wow, thanks! Huge improvement on my 1440x900 (17" widescreen).

Great script, cheers.

Can I make a suggestion? If you change it to http://www.google.*/search* then it'll also work for other Google sites like google.co.uk, google.ca etc.

nice - Thanks

Dude.... sweet!!!
