Wow, I can't thank you enough. The last link you posted handled the problem EXACTLY! You are my new hero!
I'm just going to tweak the CSS code and a few other things, but that is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you!!! I am also changing my CSE id to the one for my custom search engine, but do I need to change the API key you have in this line? <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi? key=ABQIAAAA1XbMiDxx_BTCY2_FkPh06RRaGTYH6UMl8mADNa0YKuWNNa8VNxQEerTAUcfkyrr6OwBovxn7TDAH5Q"></ script> Thanks again and again and again for your diligence. The internet is great because of helpful people like you!
