For some reason I'm having a weird issue with the_excerpt() and even get_the_excerpt() on my search page. You can see it on a search for "beef" here.
The odd thing is, the templates are the same as the taxonomy-ingredient.php page here.
There doesn't seem to be any difference in anything that I can spot between say "the Beef Stroganoff with Peas" and the "Minted Pea Couscous" for instance, yet the Stroganoff doesn't show the excerpt (but shows it fine on the taxonomy - meat page.
Is there anything that would cause this? I'm stumped.
