If you search for something and a post includes a quote that is longer than the preview length of the post, there will be no indication that the post begins with a quote. Ideally it would be formatted as a quote and then truanted; otherwise, I think it would still be better if the post was shown as beginning with

Code: Select all

. Looking into this more, sometimes it appears to happen even when the whole quote is shown - is it if the full sentence or paragraph after isn't showing either?

Judging from these it probably should remove the entire quote from the preview.

Hm, yeah. Removing the quotes is probably the best option. I don't see any other formatting than some quotes either.

search.php?author_id=44996&sr=posts

it shows some posts that looke like i made them, but those words were actually spoken by someone else lol :)
like the part that says "Prehaps some reward for launching all parts" - that wasnt me :)

Any news on this? It's really annoying when you're searching and half the results are unmarked quotes.
