First of all, I must point out that HTSEARCH_RESULTS is not an actual
variable, but really just a marker. I used the term pseudo-variable
in the docs. It only works in the search_results_wrapper file, and can
only appear once. It indicates to htsearch were the individual search
results will go in the output.
The formatting of these search results is controlled by the template
files. See
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#template_map
and http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#template_name
for details.

Sounds like you've defined a header file, but no footer file.
You must either define separate header and footer files, or combine
them using a single wrapper file that makes use of the HTSEARCH_RESULTS
pseudo-variable. See
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#search_results_wrapper
for a description of this.
I'm assuming you want all the search results in the right table, and
something else in the left one. You'd just need to nest these two tables
as two columns within another table, and define your template file so
it formats each search result entry as a complete table row within the
right table, and it should all work fine.
