Search excerpts instead of content

[Jummul]

I want search results to show excerpts instead of content. My current search.php from my child theme shows this:

<?php
/**
 * Genesis Framework.
 *
 * WARNING: This file is part of the core Genesis Framework. DO NOT edit this file under any circumstances.
 * Please do all modifications in the form of a child theme.
 *
 * @package Genesis\Templates
 * @author  StudioPress
 * @license GPL-2.0+
 * @link    http://my.studiopress.com/themes/genesis/
 */

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_search_title' );

/**
 * Echo the title with the search term.
 *
 * @since 1.9.0
 */
function genesis_do_search_title() {

	$title = sprintf( '<div class="archive-description"><h1 class="archive-title">%s %s</h1></div>', apply_filters( 'genesis_search_title_text', __( 'Search Results for:', 'genesis' ) ), get_search_query() );

	echo apply_filters( 'genesis_search_title_output', $title ) . "\n";

}

genesis();

Put that file away, open up functions.php.

Actually, from a cleaner coding perspective you'd want to create a search.php instead of cluttering up functions.php. Custom templates are your friend 🙂

All you'd need to do is add this to a custom search.php:

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_content_archive', 'sk_show_excerpts' );
function sk_show_excerpts() {
    return 'excerpts';
}

You might also want to play around with which image to display, or display none at all, but that way the code is only called when a visitor does a search, and never anytime else.

Thanks Tom, The hook works great on my genesis child theme. I'm wondering how to add a "read more" link after every excerpt though it's works fine with the title.
Thanks again
