Edit the web part Content editor|| Deploy appearance|| give a name|| and chose Chrome type “none”. (It will make invisible the title)|| Apply||OK

Click in add new content||in the Editing tools tab select insert||link||from Sharepoint ||chose site and the URL of the precedent Search site collection that we created, and click OK.

 

By clicking in Links Tools Format, we will complete the link configuration adding the total URL and description; also you can open the link in a new tab and/or display the icon, save the change and close the edit.
