Here's a simple Javascript to hide the gray or white relevance boxes in Web search results.

Put the following code in the onLoad event of that form:

kill_boxes()

Put the following code in the JS-Header section of your $$SearchTemplateDefault form or of any other form you use to display your web search results and voila -- the boxes are gone.

function kill_boxes()
{
for( i=0; i<document.images.length ; i++ )
{
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr1.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr2.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr3.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
}

 //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr4.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr5.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr6.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

if( document.images[i].src.indexOf('vwicnsr7.gif') != -1)
{ 
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=0 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=0
} //end if

} // end for
}

MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP

After doing some research, I found this tip. It was not quite what I wanted to do, but it got me on my way. Add customized relevance pictures to the icons directory on your Domino server and put the following code in the onLoad event of that form:

kill_boxes()

Put the following code in the JavaScript header section of your $$SearchTemplateDefault form or any form you use to display your Web search results and the boxes are replaced.

  
function kill_boxes()
{
for( i=0; i<document.images.length ; i++ ) 
{ if( document.images[i].
src.indexOf('vwicnsr1.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].
src= src="/icons/vwicnsrcus1.gif" 
//your custom icon document.images[i].
height= HEIGHT=11  // the height of your icon, 
domino generates its own height and wide
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=56   
// the width of your icon
} //end if
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf
('vwicnsr2.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].src= 
src="/icons/vwicnsrcus2.gif"
document.images[i].height= 
HEIGHT=11 document.images[i].
width= WIDTH=56 } //end if if
( document.images[i].src.
indexOf('vwicnsr3.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].
src= src="/icons/vwicnsrcus3.gif"
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=11 
document.images[i].width= 
WIDTH=56 } //end if 
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf
('vwicnsr4.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].src= 
src="/icons/vwicnsrcus4.gif" 
document.images[i].height= 
HEIGHT=11 
document.images[i].width= 
WIDTH=56 } //end if 
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf
('vwicnsr5.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].src= 
src="/icons/vwicnsrcus5.gif"
document.images[i].height= HEIGHT=11 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=56 } 
//end if 
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf
('vwicnsr6.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].src= 
src="/icons/vwicnsrcus6.gif"
document.images[i].height= 
HEIGHT=11 
document.images[i].width= 
WIDTH=56 } //end if 
if( document.images[i].src.indexOf
('vwicnsr7.gif') != -1) 
{ document.images[i].src= 
src="/icons/vwicnsrcus7.gif"
document.images[i].height= 
HEIGHT=11 
document.images[i].width= WIDTH=56 } 
//end if } // end for }
