how do I put two panels on an apex form

Hi,

I have an apex form that has two parts to it:  the first part is a list of search criteria and the second part is a table with search results.

Is there a way to have these two parts display side-by-side on the form?

Thanks.

I decided to try going with a combination of PanelGrid and PanelGroup tags.  That seems to do 80% of what I am looking for, and the other 20% may be possible as well (I have separate questions out on the discussion board about those).

Thanks.

The easiest way to accomplish it would probably be to use a component. You'll need to make sure that you set the allowDML to true on your form though. Salesforce disables it by default. Example: 
<apex:page>
....
  <apex:pageBlock>
    <c:searchComponet param1="xyz"..../>
    <c:resultComponent paramR ="abc".../>
  </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
