Sitecore and Coveo have partnered up to offer a free version of the Coveo search.
I downloaded this to create a POV for a client and here are my thoughts. Alternatively, you can download the new Jetstream demo from the partner portal which comes preconfigured with Coveo.
To configure a search page after installing the Coveo component just select a page in the content editor and insert a Coveo Seach page
You can use the Sitecore rules editor to select specific templates in the system.
The front end display is separated from the logic allowing front end developers to modify the JS layer to control elements and styles.
Pro - quick, easy to install and had a working search control and search results pages in a matter of minutes. Separation of logic and presentation.
Con - Customizing anything outside of the available options is just as painful as SOLR and Lucene.

Once you Publish the page you have default search results page. To limit and control what shows up in the results page you can modify the properties of the search results.
