Working With the Search Results Web Part
You use the Search Results Web Part to display search results. The Web Part has two configurable tabbed views that can display either the Catalog search results or the Site Content search results. Site Content searches use Microsoft Enterprise Search or Microsoft Search Server 2008.
An XSL template drives the Search Results Web Part.
