i have been removing java scripts and CSS files which are not needed on certain pages I have managed to do this for my homepages, my category pages and my product pages but i am struggling to do it for my search page. This is the code i am adding:
<catalogsearch_result_index>
<reference name="head">
<action method="removeItem"><type>skin_css</type><stylesheet>CSS file path</stylesheet></action>
</reference>
I assume i need to change catalogsearch_result_index but i am not sure what to
catalogsearch_result_index
is the correct layout handle, unless you're talking about the advanced search page.
