By default Relevanssi uses the same custom fields for indexing and excerpts. If you remove a custom field from the indexing settings, it will be removed from the excerpts as well. Perhaps you can remove the date field from being indexed?
Another option is to use the relevanssi_excerpt_custom_field_content filter hook to adjust the custom field content before it’s added to the excerpts.

Hello thank you very much for your answer.
If I declare custom fields with relevanssi_excerpt_custom_field_content hook, only these fields will be used ?
I don’t have more detail about this hook in the documentation. What parameters does this hook accept?
What’s the difference with relevanssi_excerpt_content ?
function custom_fields_to_excerpts($content, $post, $query) {
$custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'article_technics_repeater', true);
$content .= " " . $custom_field;
$custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'article_wysiwyg', true);
$content .= " " . $custom_field;
return $content;
}
add_filter('relevanssi_excerpt_content', 'custom_fields_to_excerpts', 10, 3);
It is possible to hide link in content. I got https://www.soundcloud.com… for example ?
Thank you in advance

First, all Relevanssi filter hook documentation is here: https://www.relevanssi.com/user-manual/filter-hooks/
All hooks are also documented in the source code.
relevanssi_excerpt_custom_field_content is not for declaring custom fields; there’s no function for that (well, there’s relevanssi_index_custom_fields, but it applies both in indexing and in excerpts; I suppose there should be also relevanssi_excerpts_custom_fields for filtering the actual fields). The relevanssi_excerpt_custom_field_content lets you filter the custom field content as a single concatenated string. That’s the only parameter, so it’s fairly basic.
The difference to relevanssi_excerpt_content is that relevanssi_excerpt_content has all content, while relevanssi_excerpt_custom_field_content only has the custom field content, so if you want to focus on that, this is a more specific function. If you want to add content from specific custom fields (note that indexed custom fields are generally automatically used for excerpts, if you just check that option in Relevanssi settings), then relevanssi_excerpt_content is better for that.
To hide the links, it’s probably best to filter them out in one of these hooks.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.
I’m a little confused.
What is your advice for building an excerpt with only selected custom fields (in addition to the_content from WordPress).
I tried to set Custom fields option to some in indexing tab but I still have results with custom fields that I don’t want.
I tried to set Custom fields to visible and I have these famous date fields that appear in the excerpt.

Relevanssi should only use the fields listed in the Custom fields setting for excerpts.
This problem does sound familiar; I seem to remember someone else having problems with ACF adding unwanted fields to the excerpts. Unfortunately that’s about all I remember of it.
What is the name of the date field that is being added to the excerpt? Are the excerpts otherwise exactly as set in the Relevanssi settings? If you disable Relevanssi custom excerpts, the date is not being added in the excerpt?

For an agenda I created two custom date fields with ACF.
A start date event_hour_start (datepicker) and an end date event_hour_end (datepicker).
If I use the some option or visible I don’t have any excerpts.
When I use relevanssi_excerpt_content hook it works but I don’t have fields in flexible content, I tried to use blocs_article_$_article_wysiwyg and blocs_article_%_article_wysiwyg syntax without success. Maybe I need to reindex when I change options?
If I disable Relevanssi custom excerpts (I uncheck Create custom search result snippets). I no longer have the dates (and obviously no longer any excerpt).

What if you make Relevanssi index all custom custom fields (though just visible should work; ACF stores actual data in visible fields and useless metadata you don’t want to index in hidden fields), and then add this:
add_filter( 'relevanssi_index_custom_fields', 'rlv_remove_dates' );
function rlv_remove_dates( $fields ) {
$remove = array( 'event_hour_start', 'event_hour_end' );
return array_diff( $fields, $remove );
}
Does this work? Reindexing is not necessary for changes to appear in excerpts.

It’s perfect. It works very well. Thank you to have taken the time to answer and find a solution.
I have 0 or 1 that appear at the beginning of some excerpt. Could it be because of true/false custom fields?
Yes, that does sound like a boolean field.
