standard wordpress search function

Forgive me as I am not an expert in website design, but have the task of fixing our website.

The problem is that the standard wordpress search option presents results that look similar to the layout of our website pages, and so user of the search option are confused, thinking that they have reached a webpage, when in fact they are only looking at their search results. People have undoubtedly become accustom to search results presented the way google does (i.e. without an accompanying picture).

Is there a way to modify how the search results are presented?
