Can I change the look of FP search results page?

I'd like to modify the way my search results page looks. Is it possible? For
example, can I change the font size, rearrange search results, remove the
phrases I don't need...?
 
Thank you help, but this is not exactly that I want to change. I'd like to
change Search Results page, but I can't find any wizards or properties that I
could configure. The Search Form code represents one long string containing
settings for search results, and I can't edit the look of search results.
 
You can change fonts, font-sizes and colours using CSS. The results are
in a table, you can place the search form in a div, and add style rules
for table cells within that div which will style the results.
Example:
In the page <head> section:

<style type="text/css">
#serch td {font-family:arial,san-serif;font-size:small;}
#serch td a {color:green;backround:yellow;}
#serch caption {color:red;font-weight:bold;}
</style>

And in the <body> of the page:

<div id="search">
<!--webbot bot="Search" S-Index="All" S-Scope="All" S-Fields S-FieldsEx
S-Text=" " I-Size="20" S-Submit="Search" S-Clear="Reset"
S-CiMaxRecordsPerPage="10" S-CiMaxRecordsInResultSet="200" TAG="BODY"
b-useindexserver="1" U-DOC-URL="searchform2.htm" startspan -->
</div>

(The above webbot code comes from my local webserver - yours will be
different). You *will* want to change the colours used above.

The content of the results list is hard coded into the FrontPage search
routine itself, except where the properties dialogue allows you to
change it. There are more options when using index server on Windows
server, than with the WAIS search on Unix servers.

Thank you very much. Although I already found the solution you are
describing, it's an excellent explanation for others.
 
Since it is a FP bot, you are very limited to what can and cannot be changed.

You might consider using a script to search your site - usually these can be
customized
