Search result layout

[macmansc]

I provided a demo for a client to show how your software works. They preferred the search results to look more like what's found here

I don't like it, but I'm not the one paying the bill. Is there a way that I can view the results in columns similar to this?

Editing the info displayed and the length of the summary?

If you haven't already, take a look at this FAQ:
Q. How do I customize the appearance of my search page with CSS?

Alot of layouts are possible if you are familiar with CSS. Here's some tips:

1. You can turn off the numbering before each search result from the "Results Layout" tab of the Configuration window
2. You can turn off the information line ("Terms matched: ... Score... etc.") from the same tab
3. You can also disable the context description if your client prefers that
4. To make the search title appear on the same line as the description, you would use a bit of CSS like this:
   

   .result_title { font-size: 100%; display: inline; }
   .description { font-size: 100%; display: inline; margin-left: 5px;}

5. Creating alternating background colours are not so easy to achieve in V4. But in the upcoming V5 release, this will be easy as we offer a different CSS class for alternating lines in the search results.
