Well duh! Look into the file results.html and flypage.html and you get
the picture. What I mean is, if you want to display the image and the
description in your results page, add some codes to display that in your
results page. For example, if your results page has a code like

[item-field title]

you can add a code like

[item-field description]

to display the description, if you have a column "description" in you
product database and so on.
If you have a column image to display the image, you can use codes like

[if-field image]
                    <IMG SRC="cover/[item-code].jpg" WIDTH=200> 
          [else] 
          <IMG SRC="cover/dummygif.gif" WIDTH=150> 
          [/else] 
[/if]

Make sure, you use the right if condition (for example [if-loop-data
table field], [if file file.gif], [if-sql-field xyz] and so on) to
display image or description.
