Is it possible to delete the Play and Calendar, and bring something

Because thay are simply lists (li of links with some fancy CSS (+ 
scripts) you could hack the html and store it locally (and possibly 
bookmark it).
The original HTML (e.g. with view source) seems a mess because it's 
condensed you can use a tool like tidy [1] to make it into something a 
little more readable.

Of course this 'static' modification would be lost once you leave the page.

What I have done (for another reason which is to quickly be able to 
select English or Italian as search language) is to create a customized 
home page with the google search form (together with other stuff) which 
might also be an approach depending on your needs.

Thanks for you suggestion, also a late thanks for the suggestions your

Here seems you forget to put the [1] reference.  I wish to do a try.

They should change it then because I installed the greasy monkey is
the most beautiful English sentence I've read today, and I doubt
seriously things are going to get any better.

It's funny, though, (in the sense of queer, odd), because I just
finished reading a short story with a monkey in it named Alf.  In the
story, Alf is at home (a suburban house in Colorado) looking out the
window (from the sill) into the front yard and a bird comes flying right
at him, which makes jump back in fright, but when he does so he somehow
lands under the legs of his owners rocking chair (a middle-aged woman)
and his spine is broken as the woman rocks backwards in surprise.  He
dies on the spot (after letting out a very human-like scream).

Now, if he would've been a greasy monkey, I'm thinking he might have
survived the experience.

Oh well.

It would be good to have debian-user as a support ML and keep all the

Why don't you just go to the URL the normal way, bookmark it,
then give that bookmark a keyword?

I expect you could use Greasemonkey to do that - Firefox extension that 
let's you do lots of stuff to incoming web pages.  Or, maybe you could 
write a little bit of code that lives on a proxy.

 hidden in More up there?

Yes. Though I can't see how that might be related to Debian ;-)

There are a number of ways to do that - but wouldn't it be simpler to
just put a shortcut or shortcuts to the links you want into your
toolbar? The Google search page structure and scripts *will* change.


 
 Googled for a while and still don't know how to set those things.

Looking at the source code might have proven instructive ;-p

It's not a settable setting as such (if that gibberish makes sense).
The element you're referring to is div#gbx3 which is a long list of
links ending in Even More. Until you click on More... part of that
list is hidden.

So to change that so that some of the initial visible part of the list
is hidden and replaced by the part of the hidden list you need to change
the applied styles and dynamically rewrite the page.

Possible. I'd probably just download the page and re-write it.
But you 'could' change the actual live page - I'd probably use Adblock
(to hide some elements) and Greasemonkey (to rewrite elements), but I
only spent a minute looking at the code and it's possible it could be
achieved with a bookmarklet (javascript snippet) or a custom CSS that
you apply to the search page.

 
 Thanks ahead for your suggestions,
 
 Best regards,
