on Aug 6th, 2008More Y! – Search for the widescreen
Don’t you hate it that your favorite search engine cannot realize that you are using a widescreen or a theatrical display and still shows you ten measly results ? Well, I do and I sat down yesterday to fix it. The result is More Y! – a widescreen optimized search. Wait, before you make any assumptions about it, its not a google killing revolutionary new search algorithm. Its just a differnt way of packaging Yahoo’s search results, thanks to Yahoo! Search BOSS. And, No, its not a Cuil ripoff 
Cuil is way cuiler. This is just an optimization on the traditional Yahoo search that I liked using.
If you are using a widescren display or a theatrical display with resolution sizes bigger than 1024 *768 then use More Y! . More Y! displays thirty results in three columns and looks legible on widescreen displays (no guarantees for normal displays though). Whats even more handy is that More Y! can be integrated into your favorite browser (Firefox 2+ or Internet Explorer 7+ ) by following the instruction provided on the More Y! page. Its a cinch.
Have fun with More Yahoo! and do reply back with comments and feedback.

I can assure you that More Y! performs well in a 1024×768 res! and it would be cool too if it does also for a 800×600 res, as for now user will need to scroll right the horizontal scrollbar in order to see the rest of half of 3rd column.
Maybe something to do with the size of container table, still have no clue
Wouldn’t it be better if the results are ordered horizontally rather than vertically?
Now I have to scroll down to see all of the first row and then come back for second and so on. That way I can scoop all the top results in the first 3 lines.
