Please refer to this Codex Topic:

As you can see, you would need to review if your current theme has a search.php file (if, not then WordPress would use it’s search function).
If your theme does, it controls the output of a search…
Example
Your theme (or a plugin) can also set the excerpt length to zero which may have the effect you note…
Example
Thank you Pioneer Valley Web Design. I looked at my theme, and it does have a searchform.php file as well as a search.php file. The search form file includes the following:
<div class=”search-form”>
<form id=”searchform” method=”get” action=”<?php echo home_url(); ?>” accept-charset=”utf-8″>
<input type=”text” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” class=”search-form_it”>
<input type=”submit” value=”<?php echo theme_locals(“search”) ?>” id=”search-submit” class=”search-form_is btn btn-primary”>
</form>
</div>
And the Search.php file includes the following:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class=”motopress-wrapper content-holder clearfix”>
<div class=”container”>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”<?php echo cherry_get_layout_class( ‘full_width_content’ ); ?>” data-motopress-wrapper-file=”search.php” data-motopress-wrapper-type=”content”>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”<?php echo cherry_get_layout_class( ‘full_width_content’ ); ?>” data-motopress-type=”static” data-motopress-static-file=”static/static-title.php”>
<?php get_template_part(“static/static-title”); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”<?php echo cherry_get_layout_class( ‘content’ ); ?> <?php echo of_get_option(‘blog_sidebar_pos’); ?>” id=”content” data-motopress-type=”loop” data-motopress-loop-file=”loop/loop-blog.php”>
<?php get_template_part(“loop/loop-blog”); ?>
</div>
<div class=”<?php echo cherry_get_layout_class( ‘sidebar’ ); ?> sidebar” id=”sidebar” data-motopress-type=”static-sidebar” data-motopress-sidebar-file=”sidebar.php”>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I am not finding anything in reference to the excerpt length. Do you see anything above that I should adjust?
As noted above, if you are using a theme that is a Commercial Product, you need to ask the theme vendor:

That said, from this page where I see a search form, I am not seeing the results you note. Please try clearing your browser cache, enabling javascript, or using another browser/device to review this.
Ok, thank you for your help.
