This page does not appear on the list of pages on the back-end. Is there a way of editing it?

Thanks!

By default the search page (not an actual page but a template that lists your search results) uses your index.php template. IF you want to modify the output of the search page you can create a custom search.php template and it will be used to output your queried posts.
The easiest way would be to copy the content of index.php into search.php then modify the search.php anyway you please.

I realize the same problem. The search page layout or template is a page+side bar. I would like to change it to a full page template. How do I do that?
