As you may guess, there is the problem with floating text around the left bar (and especially if its code on HTML page is below the main central block). I don't see a solution to make center column text to flow around the left bar. But without that floating - I don't want to loose a lot of space on the left side of the page (below the left bar), while I'm browsing my 100 results page...

Though, as you mentioned, Google's text doesn't reach the right-hand margin on our screens anyway, so the practical effect is pretty marginal. On a test 100 result page without the sidebar, I had to page-down 7 times to reach the bottom. With the sidebar, it took 8 times. Shrug. But it certainly looks a lot of 'wasted' space, and flowing round would be cool. Oh well Sad

Quote:If you want to un-check the option "No left bar" - you may try the code below. It is a hack. Keep in mind: 1) text doesn't flow around it; 2) code becomes less efficient (you may see extra an delay displaying the page if you check the option "No left bar").

It's a nice hack! I default to 10 results, and it works fine and speedily with that.

But ... if I also leave the Google - No Logo filter unchecked, it mangles the icons next to the sidebar items, as well as the logo. It looks just like the image in my first post above where the logo and all the icons are in their own overlaying box.

I'm not bothered by having the logo on or off. But the icons next to the sidebar links are handy visual cues, so if it's possible to tweak the filters so that they work with both the sidebar and logo filters unchecked, that would be great?

Lastly, I noticed that the filters seem to disable the "Fewer" link in the sidebar (though the "More", "More search tools" and "Fewer search tools" all still work). Frankly, I can't imagine ever wanting to bother collapsing the options after specifically expanding them, so it's not a fix I need. But I thought you'd want to know.

And thanks for taking the time and trouble to work on these Smile!
