Plain and simple...
I want to incorporate the <!--more--> function or read more with the search results only. Therefore, when I search, I want the results to display the first 4 or 5 lines of the article and that's it.
I found this, which didn't help me much in my cause...but helpful.

You could change the_content() template tag in your search template to the_excerpt(), which would do pretty much what you're after (display just the first several lines of your post).

Amazingly enough, I don't have that in my search.php file...
[Moderated: edited out source (see Forum Rules, A.4), except for important part]
<?php foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php require('post.php'); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php require('post.php'); ?>
It's probably hiding in that file.

Oh, and here's how you can get post.php to only display the_excerpt() in search results (but the_content() everywhere else):
<?php if ( is_search() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content();
} ?>
More on conditional tags like is_search():

That worked...like a MF charm. Can I say MF here? =) Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted.

"Can I say MF here?"
That's the way we prefer it to be said. ;)

Shameless plug:
For anyone else having this issue...or if you're curious...check out my blog and see this in action. Since I don't have many articles yet, search for "the" and you'll get the results in the format I'm talking about here.
