Yes.

1. Drag both controls onto a form.

2. In the Page_Load in the codebehind insert this code

//C#
if(Request.Params["QueryExpr"] == null)
this.SearchResult1.Visible = false;

'VB.NET
If Request.Params["QueryExpr"] Is Nothing Then
this.SearchResult1.Visible = false
End If

3. In the SearchBox control set the ResultPageURL to the current page.

This of course assumes your SearchResult control is named SearchResult1.

Here's a complete example.
