Displaying post exerpts in search.php

OK, Here’s my search.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<h2 class="pagetitle">Search Results</h2>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div class="post">
				<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
				<small><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></small>

				<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">No posts found. Try a different search?</h2>
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I want post exerpts to be displayed in the search results. Where do I put the tag and what’s the syntax?

Cheers
