Can I change the font and style of seach results from a webbot?

I am trying to do something very simple (I think) and can't get it to work. I
have an existing web site running with FP Server Extensions installed. I
created a new page for this existing site and chose INSERT > WEB COMPONENT >
WEB SEARCH > CURRENT WEB. Then set my preferences to create the search
webbot. That worked out fine; very simple. The search bot works fine but when
the search results are displayed on the resulting page all the fonts are too
big and don't look right. Is there a way to adjust how the results are viewed
from a webbot? I've tried many things and looked many places. What am I
missing?

Thanks for any help!

You have to apply a theme or a stylesheet to the page with the search component.

Thomas: Thank you for replying.
I must be doing something wrong because I have tried both of those. If you
take a look at my test page you will see what I mean:
http://www.electrix.com/search.html

When the search results appear and you click on one of the links, the style
changes. Sometimes a single click will just change the style and then you
need to click again to actually go to the link. Very confusing. Tell me what
you think. Thanks.

You would have to apply the CSS to the body tag or you would have to apply a theme to the entire
site so that it is the default theme.
