not display comment and other info for search home

I’d like to modify my theme to not display comment, ‘last modified’ information, and the like, in a search result that matches the home page. I tried the following with a matching endif statement, but it had no effect. Any ideas?
<?php if(! is_home()) : ?>

I verified that this is the right place, by displaying a small string beforhand and seeing that it appeared in the search output.
