Is it possible to customize the apperance of search result. My all posts have a embed code so that user can copy them and use that on their site. These code is also showing in the search result. Can I only show the title and the first paragraph of the article.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi there,

tricky one… you can try this PHP Snippet to display an excerpt that contains only the first sentence:

function filter_excerpt($excerpt) {
	if ( is_search() ){
		$excerpt = wp_strip_all_tags($excerpt); // Strip all HTML tags from the excerpt.
		$excerpt = trim($excerpt); // Trim whitespace from the beginning and end of the excerpt.
		$pos = strpos($excerpt, "."); // Find the position of the first full stop.
		if ($pos !== false) {
			$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, $pos + 1); // Get the substring up to and including the first full stop.
		}
		$excerpt = '<p>' . $excerpt . '</p>'; // Wrap the excerpt in <p> tags.
	}
    return $excerpt;
}
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'filter_excerpt');
