A hack or Greasemonkey script to move up the Advanced Search button on Google's search page?

Question

Google has placed that button too low for my taste.

Answer 1

You mentioned Greasemonkey so assuming you're using Firefox, I recommend using Stylish in this case ("Stylish is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript"), and targeting the Advanced Search link through CSS. For example:

a[href~="/advanced_search"] {
    position: absolute;
    top: 20px;
    left: 20px;
}

That will take all anchors on the page with a href attribute containing /advanced_search and position them 20px from the top left of your browser. See W3Schools for more CSS positioning information.
