link-results showing in 3 columns

Hi,

I just found a new search-engine named "cuil.com" and I like the way the show their search-results.
The link-results are showing in 3 colums.

see this example:
http://www.cuil.com/...ch?q=css&sl=long

How can I do the same with my G-Links ? I also would like to have the link-results shown in 3 columns.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Erich

Hi,

It may be worth looking at how the categories are "split" up into different columns [category.html], based on the value in the "global" (can't remember the name of it, without looking I'm afraid). I can't imagine it being majorly simple - but it shouldn't be really really complicated to do (unfortunatly, I don't have time to start playing around to find some code that would do this for you, sorry)

Cheers

"cuil.com" is developed by EX - Google Engineers. They were on the news yesterday, the major difference is they refuse to maintain your search information as google has. In this way they are no longer required to provide "Big Brother" our private information!

3 columns this is old but it still works.

Code:
<!--BEGIN 3-COL LINK LOOP--> 
<BR> 
<%loop links_loop%> 
<%if first%> <%-- set up the opening table --%> 
<TABLE width="100%"> 
<TR> 
<%endif%> 
<TD> 


<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="250"> <tr><td> 


<!--BEGIN OF LINK GUTS-->         
<%include link_column.html%> 
<!--END OF LINK GUTS--> 


        </td></tr></table></TD> 
<%ifnot row_num % 3%> <%-- close the row --%> 
</TR> 
<%endif%> 

<%if last%> <%-- close the table --%> 
<%if row_num % 3 eq 1%> <%-- balance the trailing rows --%> 
<TD></TD><TD></TD> 
<%endif%> 
</tr> 
</TABLE> 
<%endif%> 

<%endloop%> 
<!--END 3-COL LINK LOOP-->
