Google Multi-Column View
Google Multi-Column View is a Greasemonkey script that can display Google search results in two or three different columns instead of the default display. Doing that can be extremely useful for users with widescreen monitors who want to use all of the screen estate when working with Google. A test on a 1920×1200 LCD monitor revealed that about 30 search engine entries can be displayed on the screen at once in three column mode which is three times as much as the ten results that are displayed by default.
The Greasemonkey script requires the Greasemonkey extension when using Firefox. Google Chrome users can read the Google Chrome Greasemonkey article for pointers on how to add the script to their browser while Opera users can head over to the Greasemonkey in Opera article to do the same.
The installation of the Greasemonkey script should not pose any problems. Firefox users do not have to restart the browser, the new script will automatically work in new tabs and after reloading existing ones.
The keyboard shortcut [ALT 1-3] switches between the three available modes. Pressing [ALT 1] will use the default way of displaying search results in Google while the other two numbers will extend the display with one or two additional columns.
Google Multi-Column View works with all language versions of Google Search.
