View enhanced search engine results in Safari
Authored by: Dr. T on Oct 07, '08 12:15:54PM
I tested this in Firefox using a Google search. I saw no utility to the style sheet for an average user. Numbering the hits was not helpful. Google already uses bold to highlight your search terms, so the new style sheet added nothing new in that respect. Sometimes, the numbering got messed-up: a number in a larger point size would appear on its own line above the 'hit' it's supposed to be numbering. This happened most often after Google had a main entry followed by indented sub-entries, but it sometimes occurred with just regular entries.

Even for someone trying to assess search engine rankings, the style sheet isn't great because numbering restarts from 1 on each search page. If your Google ranking is 47, it will be listed as #7 on page 3.
