Modify Search Results Format

Hi,

Wondering how to modify the results from a standard search. Current results include Headline, Image, Byline, Lede, Category/breadcrumb, Continue button, etc. Hoping to condense and/or reformat so more results are visible in less space. One search term can return as much as 20 pages, which is a lot for users to sift through. Maybe just Headline of article and date? Also, are we able to deliver search results to another template, perhaps one we could format using Visual Composer?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi,

You can change the module for search template from Theme Panel > Template Settings – http://screencast.com/t/upwRoQgu Also if you want to modify a module only for search page you can create a condition to display the thumb only if we are not on search template. For example if you use module 6 on search – http://screencast.com/t/dPzSJn48xQhdhttp://screencast.com/t/n1QQfEroutH

if (!is_search()) {}

Result: http://screencast.com/t/KastY3uEll3s
Or you can hide it via custom css in Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/rJidXgLfy

.search .td_mod6 .thumb-wrap {
display: none;
}

Thanks!
