Results Pane – The Results pane appears in the upper right corner of the three-pane view. When you perform a search in the Lookup form, the results appear in the Results pane. Each item returned by the search contains a link that you can click to view detailed information in the bottom pane. For details, refer to Lookup Form Results.
