Customizing Search results

Scenario:
You want to customize the search results page.

Solution:
Apply a new XSLT the 'Search Core Results' webpart, to make it simpler you can look at the result XML using the below XSLT.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xmp><xsl:copy-of select="*"/></xmp>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
