Just edit the files in <installdir>/templates so htdig outputs whatever
format you prefer. I have it output XML so the results can be parsed and
displayed in a custom way, and the same idea would work for Ajax calls.

For example, my templates/search_results.html looks like:

<search>
        <words>$&(WORDS)</words>
        <keywords>$&(KEYWORDS)</keywords>
        <matches>$&(MATCHES)</matches>
        <pages>$&(PAGES)</pages>
        <page>$&(PAGE)</page>
        <firstindex>$&(FIRSTDISPLAYED)</firstindex>
        <lastindex>$&(LASTDISPLAYED)</lastindex>
        <results>
$(HTSEARCH_RESULTS)
        </results>
        <version>$&(VERSION)</version>
</search>

And my templates/search_detail.html looks like:

                <result>
                        <current>$&(CURRENT)</current>
                        <title>$&(TITLE)</title>
                        <excerpt>$&(EXCERPT)</excerpt>
                        <url>$&(URL)</url>
                        <modified>$&(MODIFIED)</modified>
                        <size>$&(SIZE)</size>
                        <percent>$&(PERCENT)</percent>
                        <rating>$&(NSTARS)</rating>
                        <score>$&(SCORE)</score>
                        <hopcount>$&(HOPCOUNT)</hopcount>
                        <docid>$&(DOCID)</docid>
                </result>
