Alter Search Results display

Question

Currently when I search for something it displays the title of the node and if there is a match a small excerpt from either the content short summary or a small excerpt from the paragraph bundle. If there is no match it displays nothing.

How can i change this so it displays content even if only the title match. How can i change this so it displays the date it was published as well.

The modules involved are paragraphs, solr, searchAPI, Display Suite.

Answer 1

You can simply add a new view mode for search results:

1. Go to admin/structure/types/manage/page/display (where "page" is your content type)
2. Expand the Show Custom display settings fieldset
3. Check Search index

4. Click Save
5. Go to admin/structure/types/manage/page/display/search_index (where "page" is your content type)

My advice would be to use the Display Suite module as well for extra fields and more options.

Answer 2

I am assuming you're using Drupal 8. You'll want to modify the search-result.html.twig template. By default, I believe the code looks something like this:

{{ title_suffix }}
<p{{ content_attributes }}>{{ snippet }}</p>

You can modify it to display something like the node's body field summary:

{{ title_suffix }}
{% if result.node.body.0.summary %}
  <p{{ content_attributes }}>{{ summary|length > 200 ? summary|slice(0, 250) ~ '...' : summary }}</p>
  <div>{{ result.node.created }}</div>
{% else %}
  <p{{ content_attributes }}>{{ snippet }}</p>
  <div>{{ result.node.created }}</div>
{% endif %}
