It's fairly easy, if you have separate search forms and config files
for each department.  The search form can select which *.conf file it
will use with a line like:

        <input type=hidden name=config value=dept>

Each *.conf file can define a search_results_wrapper attribute (versions
3.1.1 & up) which selects the HTML file that defines the overall
format of the results page.  You may also want to redefine separate
syntax_error_file and nothing_found_file attributes too.  If you want
to redefine the format of search result entries on the results page,
you can define a different template, using the template_map attribute.
For descriptions of all attributes, see
