Search Display

Hi Guys,


Is there away to display a small blurb on the asset contents when displaying search results?

I've tried the %asset_contents% and %asset_contents_raw% but they sort of display all of the contents in the page.



Example would be like in google search results:



MySource Matrix Open Source CMS - HomeCMS that includes support for simple front-end editing, flexible workflow, content versioning, roll-back, metadata, asset based architecture, security and …

matrix.squiz.net/ - 21k - Cached - Similar pages


We usually use a Description metadata field for this. There is currently no way to pull a "blurb" or snippet of the content automatically.

So is there a keyword to display the metadata desciption?

%asset_metadata_fieldname% where fieldname is the title of your description field (case sensative)

I am under the assumption that I have to fill out every 'Description' section for each page in order for it to show in the search results. Can matrix do this automatically?


No, Matrix can't fill out a description manually as it has no source for this information.
