Editing the results page of a enterprise search centre

Today i was tasked with editing the search results page in our enterprise search centre.  I'd noticed before that the results page doesn't contain a ribbon or even the site actions menu.  I didnt really take any notice before as i hadnt any need for either.  However when i came to edit this page i was stumped.  how can i get the page into edit mode so i can make changes to the search results web part.

A quick google search provided me with the solution.  Simply append the following value to the url of the search results page

?ToolPaneView=2

so your url might look something like this

http://somedomain.com/SearchCentre/Pages/peopleresults.aspx?ToolPaneView=2

Hope this helps someone.
