Hi guys
The search bar at the top right of the header is not referencing my whole website, it only pulls product and portfolio pages.
You’ll see different results in both screenshots attached.
- How can I index all main website content in all search options?
- Is there a way to display a snippet of text in the search results? At the moment it is just a page name.
- Can I remove the widget column (displays on the left in header search results, displays on the right in page search results – see screenshots)
Many thanks

HI @Shelly,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.
How can I index all main website content in all search options?
Are you using any search plugin or custom code that changed this behavior causing the issue?
Is there a way to display a snippet of text in the search results? At the moment it is just a page name.
To display it, please update the theme on your site to the below latest version as described here https://support.shufflehound.com/updating-theme/
Can I remove the widget column (displays on the left in header search results, displays on the right in page search results – see screenshots)
.search-results #content, .search #content { width: 100%; padding: 0; } .search-results #sidebar, .search #sidebar { display: none; }Best regards,
Shufflehound teamHi team
Thank you for your responses.
Are you using any search plugin or custom code that changed this behavior causing the issue?
I am using the standard search option found here:
Appearance > Theme settings > Header elements.
Since updating the theme, I see an option to include pages in the results so this issue is fixed.
Thank you for the custom code to remove the side bars – this works. It does however leave a blank space rather than the search result content filling this space.
Just one issue not resolved: Is there a way to display a snippet of text in the search results? I have the new theme but can’t see where to edit this.
Thank you

It automatically displays an excerpt of the content added in the post / page content are but if there isn’t any content then you can add it in the excerpt field of post / page as described in the below page.
Thank you.
I don’t have the Excerpts field displaying when editing Pages, and there is no option under Screen Settings either.
It is in the Blog posts though, in the right hand column.
For the pages, it is not enabled by default and you have to develop custom code to enable it as described below.

Thank you, that worked:
Add to functions.php file of the theme
add_post_type_support(‘page’, ‘excerpt’);
You are most welcome here 🙂
