Creating standalone search results pages with the element

With the launch of Custom Search themes, you have the ability to select from among a set of result styles, as well as decide on the layout for the search box and search results. Specifically, we offer commonly-used layouts: full-width (search box and search results together), 2-column (search box and search results in separate areas of the webpage), and compact (perfect for search widgets on a page, as well as for mobile search results). These layouts all provide an in-line search experience so that users don’t need to leave the page they are currently on.

Some webmasters, however, prefer to have the search results show up on a different page from the search box, so we wanted to let you know how to do this. We have a detailed post on the AJAX API blog with specific instructions.

As always, let us know if you have other questions we can answer.
