So we needed a view where we had the default search look and capabilities but within the "chrome" or look and feel of the app we were creating. I searched high and low through the documentation but there's no method to add CSS or javascript to the search page that is rendered to then manipulate the look and feel of the search page. Finally, it dawned on me that everything on that page is run by javascript so I simply viewed the page source and copied and pasted the HTML from the search page into a new html page within our app and then was able to tweak the HTML to add the CSS and Javascript from our app (sample below with ID's replaced). Just be sure to copy the HTML out of your own app as the App ID's , etc will change.

Please answer and accept your how-to posting so future readers know it's not an unanswered question.
@richgalloway, thanks. I wanted to come back and post what I ended up as a final product before closing it out.
