The trick is that you're trying to put items side by side.  The IC
loop results block is mostly setup to handle one item at a time.
Doing side-by-side is possible but complicated (if someone knows
something easier, be sure and post; maybe 4.8.x has something fancy to
handle this).  Here's what I would recommend: keep a scratch variable
to let you know what to do.  The layout would be something like this:

[set end_of_row]0[/set]
<table ...>
<tr><th>photo</th><th>price</th><th>description</th>
    <th>photo</th><th>price</th><th>description</th></tr>
[search-list]
[if !scratch end_of_row]
<tr>
[/if]
   <td><img src="[item-field image]"></td><td>$[item-price]</td>
   <td>[item-description]</td>
[if scratch end_of_row]
</tr>
[set end_of_row]0[/set]
[else]
[set end_of_row]1[/set]
[/else]
[/if]
[/search-list]
</table>

You'll notice that the end_of_row variable lets you know if you are on
the first item of the row or the second.  If you're on the first item
of the row you need to be sure and open the row with a <tr>.  If
you're on the second row you need to close the row with a </tr>.  Also
note the flip-flop at the end.  Because there's only two items per row
you can just toggle the end_of_row tracking variable with each item.
