 * manage to sort it, for anyone else looking its within content.php
 * within a child theme changed is_search() section to the following
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_home() || is_search() ) : ?>
       	<div class="entry-summary">
       		<?php the_excerpt( __( 'Continue reading', 'flat' ) ); ?>
       		<p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-success" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read The Full Review</a>
       	</div>
       	<?php else : ?>
       	<div class="entry-content">
       		<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading', 'flat' ) ); ?>
       		<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'flat' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
       	</div>
