 * Something – your theme likely – is escaping the HTML code in the excerpts. It
   should not be escaped; it should be printed as is.
 * Either remove the HTML code escaping or disable the Relevanssi custom excerpts.

 * Hi
 * I removed esc_html in the theme’s search module:
 *     ```wp-block-code
                           <p itemprop="description" class="qodef-post-excerpt"><?php echo wp_trim_words( esc_html( $qodef_my_excerpt ), 30 ); ?></p>
       ```
   
 * And it’s OK
 * Thanks
