Chiara Fox has written a checklist of items to include in search results pages. To quote:

Recently on projects I’ve found myself designing a number of search results pages. While each project has its own set of requirements and nuances, I think there are a handful of elements that should be included in most all result page interfaces. If you start out with this list, and then tweak as your situation requires, I think you’ll end up with a pretty good page.

(This is something we also covered a while back, in the What to include in intranet search results article.)
