Problem formatting Output from Search Widget

[BrianHall1]

I am just starting in Flex Viewer and am having trouble getting my Search Widget result features to be formatted the way I need them to be.  Usually I just copy and edit code from elsewhere but have been unable to find any that changes the output of the Search Widget.
Seems no matter what I do, I still get the default red output color and alpha.
My code looks like this (top lines not shown):

            <field name="DeedOut" alias="DeedOut"/>
                <field name="LandType" alias="LandType"/>
                <field name="NotesAll" alias="NotesAll"/>
            </fields>
            <orderbyfields>DateIn ASC</orderbyfields>
        </layer>
    </layers>
<symbols>
  <simplefillsymbol>
   color="0x99CCFF"
   alpha="0.2"
         </simplefillsymbol>
</symbols>

</configuration>

Can anyone help?

Try using the following code in your symbols section, this should be a green circle with a red outline

<symbols>
   <simplemarkersymbol style="circle" size="12" color="0x00ff00" alpha="0.5" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" angle="0">
      <outline style="solid" color="0xff0000" alpha="1" width="1"/>
   </simplemarkersymbol>
</symbols>

The other options for the type of marker can be found here:

Anthony,
Thanks for the real fast reply!  I tried your code and still getting same old default red polygons (I did clear cache).  I'll try the resources link tomorrow.

Brian,

Sorry i gave you the code for points not for polygons, try the following:

<symbols>    <simplefillsymbol color="0x00ffff" alpha="0.5">        <outline color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />    </simplefillsymbol> </symbols>
