how to change SharePoint search page URL?

Question

I am using SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I am using publishing portal template.

By default, the search page is using results.aspx as the search result page. I want to change results.aspx to another page (my custom search page to show results, eg customsearchresults.aspx), how to change?

thanks in advance, George

Please take a look here: Creating a custom search results page for a (searchresults.aspx) Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) Site

The easiest way is to create a "Search center" site (can be a subsite of your actual site)and create your search input/results pages there. Then you configure the search results page at yoursite /_layouts/enhancedSearch.aspx
