    I am using the WordPress search widget.

    I want to change a few things on the search results page but can’t even find the page anywhere unless I do a search myself. Where can I find the page?

    I want to make it so that the search bar is contained to the widget space…

    Also I would like the three little dots in between the brackets removed. They are located underneath each post result and looks like this […]

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    WordPress system doesn’t provide any page for search result even there’s no option to customize through dashboard.

    > I want to make it so that the search bar is contained to the widget space…

    Try adding the below extra custom CSS code: 

    
.widget_search .search-field {
  max-width: 100%;
}

    To remove the ellipsis on excerpt, try adding the below function into your child theme’s functions.php file. 

    
/**
 * Change search result elipsis
 */

 function sydney_child_modify_excerpt_elipsis($content) {

   if( is_search() ) {
     return str_replace('[…]', '', $content);
   }

   return $content;

 }
 add_filter('the_excerpt', 'sydney_child_modify_excerpt_elipsis');

    Or you can use the functionality plugin like Code Snippets without running any child theme.

    Thanks for all your help!

    CSS for the search bar worked great.

    the code for getting rid of the ellipsis did not, but I decided to do something different anyway, so that’s fine. I don’t need anymore help with that.
