Format of returned search results

Hi, I’m a bit of a Wordpress newbie. I’m looking to change the format of the search result and I’m not sure if this is controlled by the WP setting, the theme or if I need a plugin. I’m using Adventurous Pro and looking to format the results returned in the search page. By default it seems to be showing Titles/Images/a few lines of copy/categories/tags. See this example from my site: http://www.residents4u.org/?s=john+lodge&submit=Search It takes a lot of space and usually a user wants to scan down lots of results and use their eye to pick the one they want. The images/tags/categories etc. take a lot of space. Is there a way to format the results so they look more google like, i.e. a list of titles and short abstracts in a list? Thanks for any advice. Dan
