You can apply a CSS stylesheet to the results by setting the $style
configuration.  As it currently stands the only further customization
you can do to the search results is by editing the search.pl and
carefully changing the the HTML in the subroutines 

    start_html
    print_result
    end_html

Starting at around line 380.

You need to be careful editing this as it is very easy to introduce a
syntax error into the program.

We do have on our TODO list a new search program which will use
templates for the output and an external configuration file in the same
way and using the same underlying components as our TFmail program -
I've copied the devel list incase someone feels inclined to start
knocking this together.
