hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	Ok, is it my imagination or did Google (within the past day or so) just change the width of their results page? I'd swear that the bar at the top that includes the total matches used to go at least as wide as my nominal window width (about 3/4 of my MBP's screen). Today I'm noticing the output formatted for a fixed width of less than half my screen, or slightly more when including advertisements along the right side. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

Either way, it sucks. It also seems that the page-preview content returned in the search results is now shorter as well. At least for most of the searches I've performed in the past 24 hours. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software
