Am relatively new to Sharepoint 2010 so apologies if this is a lame question.
On a public facing website with a search function from Sharepoint 2010 a search query takes you to a page http://www.site.com/searchCenter/results.aspx?k=searchstring
That page has a blue header with orange, a left column with refinements and then the search results returned in a central column.
Is there a way to change the ENTIRE look of that page to fit the look of the public site and embed the results returned into the page?
Thanks!
Yes, you will just need to modify the minimal.master which is the master page that the search site should be using. You should be able to make the search results page look exactly like the rest of your site if you want it to.

I have a custom list of a few thousand names of people and a few columns.
For example: FirstName, LastLast and Yes/No Column called Active.
What i am hoping to create is a custom view that by default shows no items in the columns, with a simple search box above that where someone could search for a LastName, and when they click search have the view populate with results that contain the given LastName + Only Active = Yes. I want to avoid having to teach users to use the filter option after they search.
In SharePoint 2013, are there out of the box web parts that i can add to a blank web part page or list view that can achieve this? If so, can you step me through that? Thanks!

There are several ways to approach customized search results in SharePoint.
It sounds like you most likely need to use the Content Search Web Part. The content Search Web Part allows you to append custom query text to a user's search phrase and to target specific scopes for your search. Please see this step-by-step guide to configuring this web part to search only a single list.
I have a search application which basically provides search services. Technically it uses SharePoint 2013 for search functionality and display the results using UI technologies. Here we have a Textbox a user can enter the search term, perform search and get the results from the SharePoint API. But the issue here his we are unable to do search the links that contains hyphens.
Example :
Scenario 1: when user texts this link in the textbox "https://cis.somedomain.com/about/pages/quality-and-risk-management.aspx" and perform search, they cannot get the search results from the SharePoint 2013.
Scenario 2 : when user texts this link in the textbox "https://cis.somedomain.com/rr/pages/assurance_sas.aspx" and perform search, they are able to get the results.
Problem : if the link contains hyphens search results are not appearing , but search results are appearing if the link contains uderscore.
Is this the limitation of the SharePoint ? do we have any configurable solution, Please help me out on this one. Thanks in advance.
To my knowledge sharepoint does not have such a limitation. If I understand you correctly, when a user performs a search for a page which has a hyphen in the URL, results do not show, however if a search is performed on a page with an underscore in the URL, the results are shown? Do you have any search result sources that could be affecting what results are shown based on the search text?
I tried finding information on customizing the display result view without success.
I need to display the search result in a table in place of the list.
in my column of the result, I need the library and some common information between the different library.
Look at this template. Don't worry about "People Directory".
did you try creating a display template. That should let you customize the search results into any shape or form including tabular

I need a resize column capability in on a Google Sites Page based on the List Page Template.
Can anyone suggest a possible workaround for this, other than embedding a spreadsheet which looks really bad
As far as I know there's no way to change columns size. About Google Spreadsheets, they look better if you insert the URL of a published spreadsheet (published as web page that is). The embed tag looks sth like this:

I am retrieving a list of values from a sharepoint list, which works well but my problem is that it only retrieves the first 100 records. there are currently 500 records that should be available.
Scenario: I have two comboboxes on an infopath form:
A List of Locations
A list of areas within the locations
the list of locations will filter the list of areas but as infopath seems to only retrieve the first 100 records so most of the locations do not show any areas as there is nothing to filter.
By design, the query will only return the first page of results from the default view for the list. Change the item limit for the default view in SharePoint, and you'll change the returned values for InfoPath.
EDIT (links from my comments, here for greater readability):
Here are sources describing this fix in MSDN forum (scroll to the bottom), a blog comment that describes the SharePoint setting step-by-step, one with a screen cap of the somewhat counter-intuitive interface, and another describing performance implications on the server side.
Hope this helps.
Just documenting what I have discovered trying to resolve the problem. I have not been able to change the default view as yet as I dont have the permission to. That should change though.
One possible workaround I have found is that you can export the list to Excel which contains all the data that I was looking for. the file that sharepoint produces is an Excel Query file like "export.iqy". You can save and open the file in notepad. which will look something like the following
WEB
1
http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
Selection={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}-{8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
EditWebPage=
Formatting=None
PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
SingleBlockTextImport=False
DisableDateRecognition=False
DisableRedirections=False
SharePointApplication=http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin
SharePointListView={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
SharePointListName={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}
RootFolder=/Lists/My list
You can take the third line which is -
http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
And use that to retrieve the complete list. I added an new receive data connection, selected an xml document and added the above URL.
It is not formated particullary nice but it will return all the data that I was expecting.
I think that Argalatyr solution is much simpler at this point, but it depends on if i am able to get the default view changed.
there is yet one workaround of this without such hardcoding. If you open Query editor, then you have there available ribbon with menu items. Open "Home" -> "Select top rows" and enter there some realy high number (I have in my list 596 rows, so I entered there as limit of top rows 20000 and I got whole list).
Sorry, I don't have available English version of Excel, so I cannot add screenshots.
