Once you have the search results, look to the column on the left. If there are any parish records amongst the results, thats where they would be listed. Just click on the relevant title.

No one site has all available PR. There are other free sources you can check eg
http://www.freereg.org.uk/
https://familysearch.org/
http://www.deceasedonline.com/
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ - provides links to other sites, some free
http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/OPC.html - On Line Parish Clerks

Its worth 'googling' the area or parish you are interested in.

In the search function parish baptism records are lumped together with birth records and burial records are lumped together with death records.

Not all parish records are online. These records are usually transcribed by volunteers. They do a wonderful job; but the amount of time they can spare for this task is understandably limited.
