Making my search results look nicer

  • Not to be rude, but I think you’re asking in the wrong place. Plus this is an absolutely CSS / html issuse. WP does not tie in. That being said try a line height to space out your text a bit more on the top and bottom;

    Something like

    line-height: 1.3em;

    What theme are you using? It looks like it’s using excerpts for search results, in which case, formatting is stripped out – see:

    Thanks for the replies.

    @s3mw: None taken. I’m somewhat new to wordpress, so sometimes I have difficulty figuring out what is wordpress related and what isn’t. But I’m learning.

    @wpyogi I am currently using a version I customized a bit of Swfit basic. I tried other themes, like Twenty Thirteen/Twelve, among others (all in their original state) and they all display the search results the same way.

    Is there anyway I can not use excerpts for search results? Because even when I try the “read more” or [..] it still has formatting stripped out. Anyway I can maintain that? A plugin perhaps? Or is this just an html/css issue?
