title: Magento Page Layout Will Not Change on Advanced Search Results Page
body: <p>I am trying to change the layout of the advanced search results page (www.website.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/) from 2columns-right to 2columns-left.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried changing the app/design/frontend/default/theme261/layout/catalogsearch.xml so all references to 2columns-right.phtml are now 2columns-left.phtml. I have also changed the app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/catalogsearch.xml just in case. (I have backup up the original file.)</p>
  
  <p>Regular search results pages are 2columns-left. It is only the advanced search results page that are 2columns-right.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code for app/design/frontend/default/theme261/layout/catalogsearch.xml:</p>

              &lt;block type="core/template" name="top.search" as="topSearch" template="catalogsearch/form.mini.phtml"/&gt;
