Changing search results page display

Hi there,

You can tell the search results to show the full content like this:

add_filter( 'generate_show_excerpt', function( $show ) {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $show;
} );

Can you show me what the title looks like now vs what you'd want it to look like?

Let me know :)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I copied the entire code you gave me and paste it on snippets and unfortunately it's not changing anything.

I also created a plugin with the code, but it's not affecting the display.

About the post title I only have problems when it's at poem. I cannot split it in verses (different lines), or can I?

For example,

But everyone
on the island of music
in the city of drumbeats
believed that only...

Instead of

But everyone on the island of music in the city of drumbeats believed that only...

Thanks,
Ricardo

Sorry about that - just updated the function above so it should work.

Adding line breaks to the title isn't an easy thing to do, unfortunately. It may be worth to continue hiding the actual title when it's a poem. You can even try the "Aside" post format.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and tip.

Now the function worked great and got what I desired.

Do you have any suggestion on where to learn this kind of things?

Thanks,
Ricardo

generate_show_excerpt is a theme filter:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_show_excerpt/

Filters allow you to use a simple function to overwrite values, whether they’re options or even text on your site:

The if ( is_search() ) is a conditional tag:

Let me know if this helps :)

Thank you for your explanation! It is great to understand a little more this science or art :)

Best regards,

No problem :)
