Consider changing Custom Search Element's default CSS to display "long" (.gs-visibleUrl-long) result URLs #543

Please consider changing the *default* CSS styles used with the Custom Search 
Element / CustomSearchControl, to display the "long"  URL for each search 
result (.gs-visibleUrl-long), instead of the "short" (domain-name only) style.

Consider typical usage of a Custom Search or Site Search engine, quite often 
configured to search just one site -- especially in this case there is little 
use in displaying ONLY the domain name below each result.  Presumably, wouldn't 
a majority of Custom Search and Site Search users likely prefer the "long" 
result URL style?

Of course Custom Search & Site Search users can add CSS code to specify the 
"long" URL style.  But some presumably considerable number of users 
(particularly novices) may not immediately know how to do that.

If Google agrees that the "long" result URL display style is generally most 
appropriate for the Custom Search Element / CustomSearchControl, please 
consider making it the default.  Thanks
