Site is showing large "code blurb" when search changes

Update: the issue was, I did not have any Excerpt defined.

Would be nice to have a “Show/Hide Excerpt” option in the “Display Results” area?

The output of results is dependent upon the Display method you choose. Most of them rely on the theme templates and as such we have no control over them. The only one that does not do this is the Shortcode method, and when using that you can edit a copy of the template that we provide to make your own content.

Is this thread effectively ready to be closed?

Hi- I actually was using the shortcode here. It seems the basic “results.php” is pulling more info than it should, and displaying it. I do understand that’s just meant to be a starter, so not sure if this would be considered a bug report or a feature request, but I do think it would be better for it to not do this. My “quick fix” was to include an if-then statement around the “excerpt” portion, so it would only show excerpt if available. This solved the issue for me…but might not work as well for others.

Anyway, yep, feel free to close this! 🙂
