custom search forms with views and fastsearch

Hi
Following the article at Custom search forms with Views and Fastsearch i run into a few problems. After searching for an hour here at drupal, iam hoping to get answers/hints in the Forums.

1.Views Form output.
After adding a few filters i noticed the Forms are displayed horizontally in a Table and start breaking the Layout. Is there any way to Output the forms Vertically, so i can add a linebreak after each Form ? I did had a look at Theming views and Theme wizard, but i had the feeling it was more related on the node output. Maybe both was a bit too much for this morning :)

2. Integer Drop down
Iam using a Integer CCK Field which i want to include in the custom search forms. I wonder how its possible to add operators to the users kind of "between 1-10" or "between 11-100" etc. so that users can filter by using the drop down.

Cheers
