Well, I managed, took some pepsi, and went back to look my screen till it all worked on it's own...

so I edited in com_search\views\search\tmpl

default.php, defaultresults.php and defaultform.php to take away all the search box and the numbers before the results.

and in com_search\views\search is the editing I'm right now busy with...

I commented the 'buld select part' and the

Code:

$row = eregi_replace( '('.$searchRegex.')', '<span class="highlight">\0</span>', $row );

line... Now, what I still need done:

Code:

$row = SearchHelper::prepareSearchContent( $row, 200, $needle );

This line controls what is shown after the results, brief description of XXX characters (200 in this case)... I would love this not to be character related, but instead to show the text before the 'readmore' break, independently of how long/short it is... Also, any idea how could I show this in blog layout? Best regards And thanks for a great tool Sidenote: I have no idea how, once this is finished, or enought to be used, I'm gonna turn it a new component, as I don't want to lose current search functionality, just one a capped one for using as menu...
