Just one point : I'm not sure it's good to have forms collapsed by
default when there are results. If we would really want to have
something like that, whe should at least have an indicator to let
know the user that the list is not empty.
The form that would be collapsed by default is the one with the search
fields, not the results. The reason is that with a lot of search
fields the results get pushed pretty far down the page and it is
difficult to effectively review them.

I prefer search form showed by default (which does not mean that it
cannot be collapsed by means of some button). It informs the user
which are the filters for the results he's viewing.
I.e. when using google, the search form is always visible. Maybe I
forgot which were the terms I was looking for. No worry, they are
here with my results ;)
Yes, but on google there is only one search field, and on many of
these forms there can be over a dozen.
It might be interesting to have a super-small summary of the search
constraints used for the results, like we do in the ecommerce product
search.
