    Kriesi:

    This question is specific to Search Results page. When I search for a specific term, the results page shows the results as it should. Search works great. Each post (in my case) shows an excerpt followed by […]

    I would like to change the […] to Read More with a link to the full post. OR, as an alternate method, make the […] a link to the main story. I know that the post heads are linked, but my users seem to be thrown by the […] not being clickable as they have learned in web browsing that these do something.

    I guess as a third option, we could just hide these. The fact that they are there but not clickable seems to be the issue.

    Hey William,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    You can add this filter in the functions.php file to append a read more link to the excerpt.

    add_filter( 'excerpt_more', '__return_empty_string', 21 );
function wpse_134143_excerpt_more_link( $excerpt ) {
    if( is_search() ) {
        $excerpt .= sprintf( 
            '... <a href="%s">%s</a>.',
            esc_url( get_permalink() ),
            __( 'Read more' )
        );
    }

    return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpse_134143_excerpt_more_link', 21 );

    Best regards,
    Ismael
