Google Search Appliance: Creating the Search Experience Introduction 30
For information about returning XML results to end users, refer to the Search Protocol Reference.
Applying an XSLT Stylesheet to the XML Results and
Create HTML Output
Before the Google Search Appliance displays the results set to the user, the search appliance applies the
XSLT stylesheet to the XML results. The XSLT stylesheet contains instructions on how to format the
results and results page in HTML. You can edit this XSLT stylesheet using the Page Layout Helper or XSLT
Stylesheet Editor, which are briefly described in “Changing the User Interface.”
Presenting Search Results to the End User
The process ends when the Web browser presents the search results to the end user on an HTML
results page.
