ce-1.9.0.1,local.xml – How to Move Compare Products Block to Bottom of Right Side

If you edit

{magento_root}/app/design/frontend/{custom_package}/{custom_theme}/template/page/2columns-left.phtml

And just after the left column you add

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('full_width') ?>

Then in your local.xml

<catalogsearch_result_index>
    <reference name="root">
     <block type="core/template" name="full_width" as="full_width" template="path/to/template.phtml" />
    </reference>
</catalogsearch_result_index>

Where template="path/to/template.phtml" is the path to your template file. For instance if you added the template to the same folder as the 2columns-left.phtml then the template value would be template="page/full_width_static_block.phtml"

Assuming you are not using your own module, you should create a local layout file at location app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/layout/local.xml and assuming you are seeing the compare block which is added by default you should add the following into the file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <customer_account>
        <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar" />
    </customer_account>
</layout>

However this does mean that you will not be able to re-use the block name (catalog.compare.sidebar) if you use <remove>. If you want to re-use the same block name within the layout then use the following instead:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <customer_account>
        <reference name="left">
            <action method="unsetChild">
                <name>catalog.compare.sidebar</name>
            </action>
        </reference>
    </customer_account>
</layout>
