Today I accidentally deleted my firefox profile, that was a great chance to play around a little with the userContent.css where everything started.

I like Yahoo! Search but there are some annoying things. It wastes a lot of space and does ugly redirects (for statistic reasons I guess). To make it look a little nicer I started to remove unnecessary things and margins then I floated the search results that it will display in a two colums layout. To do so add the following Styles to your Firefox's userContent.css:

@-moz-document domain(search.yahoo.com) {
    #ygunav, #yschtools, #yschsec, #yschft, #yschasouth, #ygmalogo,
    #yschinfo h1, .yschbbox, #yschssbx, div > p.yschftad {
        display:none;
    }
    #yschpri, #yschcont {
        margin-left:0 !important;
    }
    #yschweb {
        width:100%;
        max-width:100% !important;
    }
    #yschweb ol li {
        width:47%;
        float:left;
        margin:0 0 0 20px !important;
    }
    #yschrel {
        clear:both;
    }
}

To remove the redirects I looked for a greasemonkey script at http://userscripts.org/ but found nothing that fit my needs. Inspired by the Yahoo Link Tracking Removal script I started to write my own thing.

My script isn't tested yet. It tries to remove the rds.yahoo.com stuff and improves the two column layout. If you like to try it out you can get it here.

Finally my Yahoo! Search looks like this:
