    Got the answer from Jennifer at Copyblogger Media support.

    Thank you, Jennifer!

    'remove_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
    add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_page_category_content' );
    function genesis_page_category_content() {
    the_excerpt();
    } '

    I added this to a Category template that I had created. Will be doing something similar w Search results.
