How does one correctly set the target page of indexed search results in typo3?

I am working with typo3 4.7 and trying to redirect the search results of the indexed search plugin to a page in my site and managed to stumble upon the constants editor where I've managed to use it to guide me in setting up the object. Below is the current typoscript of the object in my root template (mapped into a TV template): 

# --- SEARCHBOX OBJECT ---------------------------------- 
lib.searchbox < plugin.tx_indexedsearch
lib.searchbox{
#Disable the advanced search link
show.advancedSearchLink = 0
show.rules = 0
show.alwaysShowPageLinks = 1

#pid of root page is 1 and pid of the search result page is 9
search.rootPidList = 1
search.targetPid = 1
view.defaultPid = 9
result_link_target = 9
}

Thus far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts and all results are displayed in the page in where the search was performed. I would also like to know if it is possible to modify the displayed search box so that only the search field is displayed. Thanks for your time.

Edit: I have installed and I'm trying out solr, if anyone has any experience with it pls feel free to help resolve this issue. My two problems with solr so far is that whilst search does re-direct to the right page, (1) the search box is way too big so I need to be able to modify the display of this box (to remove the button and reduce the size) (2) it spouts som e messages about search rules and returns nothing so far.

Edit 2: Seems solr is the way forward. I have managed to get everything I want done except the result output. I lost a few days (5) before realising that the tomcat container was bound to an ipv6 protocol interface. Resolving that (see here for those who may stumble upon the same problem for how to resolve this) has meant I can now remotely admin the solr server for more information. The pages are being indexed (Not regularly as specified in the scheduler) but I still get no results on the result page, and devlog only returns warning about there not being typo3 search markers despite my TV templates being peppered with them. I can only guess that maybe I'm to mark the results page with some type of marker to get the results to show at this point.

plugin.tx_indexedsearch {
   search {
    targetPid >
    targetPid = 123
   }
}

Reference: http://lists.typo3.org/pipermail/typo3-team-core/2010-March/036269.html

Experience: works even in TYPO3 version 6.x.

Default setting for plugin.tx_indexedsearch.search.targetPid is:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch {
   search {
    # TSFE:id is always the current page
    targetPid.data = TSFE:id
   }
}

I have never used the indexedsearch plugin as the searchbox on all of my pages.

Normally, I do this

  • Create a page with the indexed_search plugin as its content, this is where all search requests are answered
  • Use macina_searchbox to display a search box as part of the template

To elaborate:

Install macina_searchbox, and use this Typoscript to configure it

plugin.tx_macinasearchbox_pi1 {
    pidSearchpage = {PID_OF_SEARCH_RESULT_PAGE}
    templateFile = {PATH_TO_TEMPLATE_FILE_FOR_SEARCH_BOX}
}

Then, include macina_searchbox like so

lib.searchbox <  plugin.tx_macinasearchbox_pi1

The search result page just needs the indexed_search plugin where you want the results to be displayed.

I would just create a search box, copy the HTML-Code, adjust action-url and HTML-Code and output it. IMHO there is no need, to render it via Plugin, if you just need an search-input field and an button. But do not forget the hidden fields!
