Search results: Excerpt when Content is empty

[patgilmour]

My Genesis search results page shows the post Content by default.

However, I have a custom post type 'webcast' where I want it to show the Excerpt instead.

I admit I can't get off first base on this one, so I have no worthy code attempt to post.

Any suggestions?

I did try modifying the code found on Sridhar Katakam's page:

Display full content in category pages for selected categories in Genesis

Like so:

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'adam_search_result_filter' );
function adam_search_result_filter() {

	global $post;

	if ( ( is_search() ) && ( get_post_type( $post ) == 'webcast' ) ) {

		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

		add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'adam_do_search_content' );

	}

}

function adam_do_search_content() {

	echo get_the_excerpt() . 'bingo';

}

But this removed the genesis_entry_content for every result listed.

So, I guess genesis_before_loop isn't the right filter. Any suggestions what to use?

Are you trying to force Excerpts to appear on a specific CPT archive page?
