   Has anyone fixed showing thumbnails for post excerpts on a search? Thanks

   May you provide a link to the problematic webpage? To clarify, the issue is you don't have thumbnails on search results?

   the featured image is shown by this line in content.php (line 18):
   

   <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

   wrap it into a conditional statement to exclude it in search results:
   

   <?php if( !is_search() )  the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

   That's the search result

   Tried <?php if( !is_search() ) the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

   but had earlier rem'd that statement to avoid double images on single posts - one above the Post title and another after h1

   Line 18 works <?php // the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

   ok - you want to have the post's image in the search result?
   (it seems that you were not referring to the 'featured image' aka post_thumbnail, but to a thumbnail in the post)

   before you proceed, strongly consider to create a child theme for your customisations; http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

   it is not recommended to edit any of the default themes directly.

   then edit content.php (a copy of content.php in your child theme):

   this section decides to show only excerpts for search results:
   

   <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
   		<div class="entry-summary">
   			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   		</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
   		<?php else : ?>
   		<div class="entry-content">
   			<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentytwelve' ) ); ?>
   			<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentytwelve' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
   		<?php endif; ?>

   remove the conditional structure and leave only:

   <div class="entry-content">
   			<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentytwelve' ) ); ?>
   			<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentytwelve' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

   Sorry for the terminology mixup. I want to display the smaller image which is called the '150 x 150 thumbnail' in insert media and I presumed is the 'featured image'

   Without modification, search results displays the excerpt without an image. A Category search displays the first post image, which I want to change to the 150x150 image as well but one thing at a time.

   I experimented with removing conditional statements as suggested but none of my versions got an image.
   <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
<?php else : ?>
....
<?php endif; ?>

   I tried this code and got images, although not the right size (right after <?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>

                    <div class="the_post_thumbnail">
                    <?php the_post_thumbnail(150,150); ?>

   I put the 150 to enlarge some 50x50 thumbnails.

   What I want to do is size everything down to 150 pixels wide.

   It's all working nicely except the text wrap

    word wrap fixed by align left statement.

    <hre><?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
    <div class="the_post_thumbnail">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'alignleft')); ?>

    Thanks for your help and also for the documentation. Function Reference/the post thumbnail
