SharePoint 2013 - how do you programmatically set the search results url?

In SharePoint 2013 I want to programmatically set the search results url. There doesn't appear to be a setting at the root web or site level that appears to allow for this assignment. With a powershell dictionary dump $mySite.RootWeb.AllProperties, I see that there are some properties at the root web that look like the likely suspects SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL_SITE, SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL_WEB, SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL; however, I'm left to guess what these values refer too though. What is the proper way to programmatically set the search results url in SharePoint 2013?

The solution to this is to set the SRCH_SB_SET_SITE root web property with a JSON string as follows:

{"Inherit":false,"ResultsPageAddress":"~sitecollection/Pages/SearchResults.aspx","ShowNavigation":false}

C# code:

rootWeb.AllProperties["SRCH_SB_SET_SITE"] = "{\"Inherit\":false,\"ResultsPageAddress\":\"~sitecollection/Pages/SearchResults.aspx\",\"ShowNavigation\":false}";
rootWeb.Update();
