This Google search

http://www.google.com/search?q=padded+search+results

didn't do much to answer the question, even when I looked at it on my own browser.

Your question comes up as the first result with this search:

I noticed the breathing space earlier, but was hesitant to ask. . . surely some Googlers read this site and can answer my question. I need to figure out how to get the new padding to translate to search results @spaceminnow.com. Thanks!
