Custom search page with search refinement panel in SharePoint 2010

I want to share my experience with custom search page and search refinement panel web part with all of you.
To create a new search page,

1.       Create a new search Page. Add the web parts -search refiner, search pagination, search statistics, search result

2.       Change the search settings page and add the new search page: 

Go to site settings and go to Search settings from Site collection Administration –

  

Select “Do Not use custom scopes..”

Write the new custom search result page location in “site collection search results page”.

3.       In The search Page, edit the page. edit the search refiner- Refinement panel xml:

And now onwards for every search in the site, the search result page will be redirected to this new search page.
