So I have a question about customizing the CSS for the GlocalResult.
There's a page on it at:
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/reference.html#_class_GlocalResultCss
which discusses the CSS associated with the .html property and states:
"The purpose of this skeleton is to show you the major structural
components so that you can alter the styling and display of a result.
For instance, if you want to supress the "address", a CSS rule of
#mycontrol .gs-localResult .gs-address { display : none; } would do
the trick. "

That page in particular is associated with the
google.search.LocalSearch, (AJAX Search API) and what I'm using is
google.maps.LocalSearch. I think the CSS is slightly different, but
the CSS for google.maps.LocalSearch is at:
http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/localsearch/gmlocalsearch.css
and I've been able to fix some display problems using styles based on
that.

Here's what I'm wondering:
I've seen a number of places that it violates the terms of use to:
"10.7 delete, obscure, or in any manner alter any warning, notice
(including but not limited to any copyright or other proprietary
rights notice), or link that appears in the Service or the Content;"
(This is from the Google Maps TOS)

There are also things in the Google AJAX Search TOS that are similar.
However, there is the option ({resultList:
google.maps.LocalSearch.RESULT_LIST_SUPPRESS}) to suppress the results
list, which obviously removes the links that appear in the results
list. This seems like a designed feature that violates the TOS if read
strictly. I guess maybe in this case Google itself is suppressing
display of the result list so it's not a violation?  But if someone
used CSS to suppress display of something as described in the AJAX
search documentation, that would seem to be a violation.

Anyway, when I implemented it, I had some minor formatting issues that
I fixed with CSS (for one, 12px is not an acceptable font size), and
was wondering if it is OK to hide the "More results" link from the
remaining results list popup as well. You can see the map I've
implemented at:
http://www.healthypetmobilevet.com/area.shtml

My thought was that would be a violation, but if it doesn't have to be
there I'd get rid of it to keep things as simple as possible for
users.
