This document is from the MnoGoSearch Distribution. Template file is usual HTML file, which is divided into sections. Keep in mind that you can just open template file in your favourite browser and get the idea of how the search results will look like. Each section consists of HTML formatted text with special meta symbols.
Every meta symbol is replaced by it's corresponding string.
You can think of meta symbols as of variables, which will have their appropriate values while displaying the search results. Also, this is a definitive place to provide a search form. This section is always included last in every page. So you should provide all closing tags which have their counterparts in top section. Although it is not obligatory to place this section at the end of template file, but doing so will help you to view your template as an ordinary html file in a browser to get the idea how it's look like.
