Add Color Coding to Google, Yahoo, Bing

Posted on Dec 30, 2009 in Hacks

More Colorful Search Engine Results

One big complaint about search engines is they are all rather vanilla with their visual representation.  Wouldn’t it be better if you could color code things a ‘bit more?  One Greasemonkey script that does a great job at this is Colorful Search.

Once you install this user script, it will generate a random light background color for Bing, Yahoo and Google.  Colors are decided and grouped together based on the domain name they come from.  So you can quickly see that if Firefox Facts results are light blue, and you see 7 out of the 10 results are light blue, they all came from here.  It makes the visual representation much more useable. 

Want to color code your own search engine results? You can pick up Colorful Search from userscripts.org.

    I am not gonna lie, you have lost me here. I know that you just meant well and you definitely know what youre discussing, but I cannot say that I get where youre coming from. If you want individuals to understand your ideas, you ought to think of the other side of the argument, too. You have got a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, rather frankly, you turned me off with your tone.

    While we’re in Add Color Coding to Google, Yahoo, Bing | Firefox Facts mode, some design companies will charge you a fixed fee based on a fixed set of requirements. If you outline your requirements very carefully, many web design companies will quote you a single price.

    The main event at the baby shower will be when the mom to be gets to open the gifts for the new baby. Every woman loves to watch because it is so exciting being able to view all of the tiny outfits and baby items. These generous gifts help the expecting mom with the first couple months of the baby’s life, anybody who has children knows how much of an expense it is. If the baby’s sex has been announced this will make the gift giving much easier for guests but if it has not bee announced then be sure to stress to the guests that unisex items would be best. Another great idea is to get the mom to be to register at online stores and some retail stores. Many guests will find this very helpful, and easier for gift giving. Here, you will find a review of the best Baby Shower Games.
