Search Results Web Part
You use the Search Results Web Part to display search results from a single search provider. The Web Part has two configurable tabbed views. The tabbed view can display either the catalog search results or the site content search results. Site content searches are configured to use Enterprise Search or Search Server 2008.
Architecture
The Web Part has two tabs for different types of search results: Product Catalog and Site Content. You must associate the Search Results Web Part control with a Search Provider Web Part, and set a property in the Search Results Web Part that determines which provider's search results to display. Multiple instances of the Search Results Web Part can exist on the same page, and may have their search provider (Commerce Server 2009 or SharePoint) independently configured.
