This is a very detailed rebuild of the look&feel of Google for the results-page of Scroogle SSL-encrypted search.

It tries to mime the look of the google searchresults-page so that people using Scroogle do not have to readept to another search-engine.

Also check out my favicon-userstyle (http://userstyles.org/styles/9574) which will replace the rather ugly Scroogle-Favicon in your browser with the classy old Google-Favicon.

And finally, to get the ultimate Google-feel for Scroogle, install my modded Scroogle-searchengine plugin for Mozilla/Firefox/Seamonkey at http://www.css-petals.net/templates/scroogle-installer/index.html.
It offers ssl-encrypted search, the Google-favicon also in the search-bar and a reduction to 20 results via Scroogle.

Remember that this style is only intended for the Scroogle-results page and could possibly screw up other layout-parts of the ssl-website of Scroogle!

Update 20080819:
The new version fixes some small bugs and - most -significantly - moves Scroogle's lower search-form to the top on top of the regular search form. This way, you have the radio-buttons for more results right where you need them. See the new "After"-Screenshot below for a more graphic explanation of the new version of this style.

Very nice! Using Greasemonkey (which is to JavaScript what Stylish is to CSS), I did a similar hack, making Scroogle look more like Google, and adding several Google-styled features (cache links, translations, similar pages). Since this style doesn't need to loop anywhere, it is probably more efficient, so users with extremely old systems are probably better off with your hack rather than mine.
