+Google's simplistic search results page is arguably one of the reasons the search giant succeeded in what was, at the time, a crowded search market. But if you have a large monitor the Google search results page is a waste of screen real estate, forcing you to scroll down a whitespace-heavy page.
+
+If this situation annoys you, and you use Firefox, you can change Google to display two columns thanks to the [Two Column Google][1] Greasemonkey script (screenshots after the jump).
+
+The Two Column Google script displays Google results in rows rather than one long column. However, rather than the results being sorted into two columns (like a newspaper), this script organizes the results into a table that reads left to right.
+
+I would probably prefer two columns like a newspaper, but this is still better than the default Google search results page. If you've got a really big monitor and know your way around some Javascript you could change the number of columns to suit your needs.
+
+Naturally Two Column Google requires Firefox with the [Greasemonkey extension][3] installed.
