If you are like me and trying to customize the search result presentation in SharePoint then you must have faced the issue of customizing the XSL of Sharepoint Search Core Results Web Part. You can customize the XSL by using SharePoint Designer or any other WYSIWYG XSL editor, if you know the raw XML returned by Search.
To get the raw XML click XSL Editor button of Search Core Results web part and replace the already provided XSL with the following
<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>
