how to find search results using selenium webdriver

I am setting up a test to perform a search and after the search is complete, i want to capture the results line that says "About xxx results (x.xx seconds)". I can get this to work using the firefox webdriver, but it does not work when I use IE or Chrome driver. I need help determining what is wrong with my code. Here is the code snippet:

public void runSearch(WebDriver driver) {

    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("search"));
    element.sendKeys("Kearney");
    element.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN);
    String itext = driver.findElement( By.cssSelector("div#resInfo-0")).getText();
    System.out.println("Search returned '" + itext + "'.");
}

Here is the html of my page after the search has been made:

<head></head>
<body>
    <header id="main_header_iphone"></header>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    <header id="main-header"></header>
    <section>
        <div class="content_nn">
            <div class="subnav">
                <!--

                <div class="bannerBox">
                 <div class="btn_events"><…

                -->
                <div class="logo"></div>
                <!--

                START Search

                -->
                <div class="search_container">
                    <div id="cse" style="width:100%;">

It is possible, the search result page takes more time for loading than WebDriver expects.
I propose to wait until the next page is loaded with WebDriverWait methods. 

element.sendKeys("Kearney");
element.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN);

// Wait! 
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By waitFor = By.cssSelector("div#resInfo-0");
WebElement lblSearchResults = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(waitFor));
// 

String itext = lblSearchResults.getText();

For IE and Chrome you need an extra driver. Start with the chrome driver and check if this solves you problem.
