another idea, you might try selectors -
a) if you can put a class on the td cells you are interested in, call
the class cell1 for instance <td class="cell1">, then reference it
with
$$('#search tbody tr td.cell1').each(function(e){ ...
e.innerHTML ...});
b) as SWilk said use nth-child, but employing $$ to save a bit of
clutter
$$('#search tbody tr > td:nth-child(1)').each(function(e){ ...
e.innerHTML ...});
