Answer 1

You forgot the dot of class selector of result class.

Live Demo

$(".result").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).addClass("result_hover");
  },
  function () {
    $(this).removeClass("result_hover");
  }
);

You can use toggleClass on hover event

Live Demo

 $(".result").hover(function () {
    $(this).toggleClass("result_hover");
 });

Answer 2

You could just use: {in and out function callback}

$(".result").hover(function () {
    $(this).toggleClass("result_hover");
 });

For your example, better will be to use CSS pseudo class :hover: {no js/jquery needed}

.result {
    height: 72px;
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid #000;
  }
  .result:hover {
    background-color: #000;
  }

Answer 3

You are missing the dot on the selector, and you can use toggleClass method on jquery:

$(".result").hover(
  function () {
    $(this).toggleClass("result_hover")      
  }
);

Answer 4

Your selector is missing a . and though you say you want to change the border-color - you're adding and removing a class that sets the background-color
