How to display the user picture on the search page?

Question

I want to show the user picture on the search page. Currently only its show the user email or name, but I want to show the user profile picture.

How can I do that?

Note: the search page is about the user type, so when I search some users their picture should be displayed on the search result page.

Copy the file YOUR_SITE/modules/search/search-result.tpl.php to your theme and modify the code inside with this:

<?php
//obtaining the username
$username = explode('(', $title);
$username = trim($username[0]);
//getting the user object
$user = user_load_by_name($username);
?>
<li class="<?php print $classes; ?>"<?php print $attributes; ?>>
  <?php print render($title_prefix); ?>

  <?php 
  /*
   * The following line will print the user picture
   */
  print theme('user_picture', array('account' =>$user));
  ?>

  <h3 class="title"<?php print $title_attributes; ?>>
    <a href="<?php print $url; ?>"><?php print $title; ?></a>
  </h3>
  <?php print render($title_suffix); ?>
  <div class="search-snippet-info">
    <?php if ($snippet): ?>
      <p class="search-snippet"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>><?php print $snippet; ?></p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($info): ?>
      <p class="search-info"><?php print $info; ?></p>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </div>
</li>

This will be the output:
