Is there any way built into Trac to customize (or adjust or tweak) the
search results page? I'm not concerned with what results are returned,
but with how they're presented. We're using an instance of Trac for an
internal help wiki and the search results are really much harder to
read than I'd like. The current layout for hits seems to be something
like:

Grandparent/Parent/WikiPage: This is the first few characters of
content...
... this is the area in the content showing the context near the
hit ...

In our case, almost every page starts with and is full of Macros (e.g.
"[[PageOutline]]") and other "junk" that makes for very hard to read
search results.

I'd like to just eliminate the part after the title where it displays
the first part of the content, the username/date stuff, and then
filter the context section to remove macros and other formatting
symbols.

Is there any easy (or hard) way to do this? Or are there any
alternative search modules I could try?

Thanks!

I have the same issue with my trac installation. I couldn't find a solution so far. It would be nice if in the search result the characters could be hidden that are not really relevant for identifying the right entry. E.g. I don't need to have a link, which can be quiet long as part of the result preview.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
