Some users reported to me that they do not see Smart Excerpts in the search results. They are using Astra Theme. Basic Search Result looks like this:

As you can see, there are only links to PDF files instead of Smart Excerpt. Additionally, for normal posts, we can see a piece of content without any highlighting, and also shortcodes are not rendered.

Fortunately, it's very simple to fix.

You need to go to Appearance -> Customize -> Blog -> Blog / Archive and find the button that switches "Post Content" between "Full Content" and "Excerpt". You need to switch it to "Excerpt" and Publish changes.

This should help and search results become look like this:

Much better, right?

@EpsilonAdmin Thanks for quick response and question.
Yes, my hope was to use the standard WP search widget - but I haven't explored any other option. If there's a better way I'm happy to get guidance 😀

My site has been recently re-created in WordPress after quite a few years of running under Joomla and that Joomla installation had a free plugin called jiFiles (?) which did the document scanning/indexing. A standard search, scoped on file name or a string from within file content, would pull up a list of file names each hyperlinked to the file itself to easily click on for in-browser viewing (or possibly downloading).

I appreciate that there are other WordPress plugins that offer a full document management system but they have a much larger feature set than I need and are also majorly expensive for a small non-profit community web site.

You can upload images to the WP Media Library as well and add the image description to the image. WPFTS Pro can search these images by the description then.

Alternatively, you can create a special post type and upload images as "Featured Image" to each of these posts, and put the description and special information to the post_content or additional meta field(s) - depending on the number of data fields and type of information.

In both cases, WPFTS Pro will help you with the search.

There is a simpler way for fix the Avada Theme search results issue in case you're using Avada Theme 7.0+.

In this version the authors enabled to override the output of search results by the hook. So using the simple addon become possible.

Just download it and install. And enjoy the Smart Excerpts 🙂
