Personally I would use a listbox with a nice datatemplate to show the various bits of information rather than having columns and a grid. Here's an example in a program I'm currently working on:
This is after the search has been done and one result has been found:
This is after the user has clicked on one of the search results (they can double click the item or click the View All button to see more info):
Obviously not suitable for every situation but I prefer it to a boring old grid personally 
That looks great too chris. But I think for this first app I will not give them everything as time is of the essence. Plus its not 100% under my control. Hopefully the next app I will have more time and full control.
I'll post something up tonight showing my progress.
