scriptygoddessRaena has a nice hack(s) to make the search results from WP a little nicer: adding a line that says "Here's your search results" (simple feedback is always nice) – and changing it so that if one result is displayed, it doesn't automatically dump you into the "single post" view.

Hi Scripty, nice site, first post here.
I recently wrote an article on that very topic, entitled "Providing a separate page of Search Results with WordPress". Your search results will look like this.
The main changes to the default search is that it's on an entirely separate page, it's got a friendly "Your search results for < query >" message, and a few other tweaks and tips.
