The search results in Finder cannot, unfortunately, be displayed as anything other than a list. The Column view would be, clearly, impossible, but when you're searching for an image, it would be nice to see larger icons.

It turns out that you can change the size of the icons in the search results, just like any other list display in Finder. You only get the choice of two sizes, but the large size can make all the difference when you're looking at a picon.

Choose View -> Show View Options when you're looking at the search results window, and select the larger of the two icons at the top. As with a normal view window, you can also set the font size, columns to display, and date style.
