No excerpt in pages

Take a look at your search results template, maybe there’s separate code for pages and posts?

sorry for the question but… what should be the name of the file to check? searchform.php? I’m using a modified kippis theme

this is my search.php

<?php

get_header();

if (!$kippis_is_smartphone) get_sidebar('left');

?>

      <div id="content">

        <article>

          <div class="article">

            <div id="search-results">

              <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

                <header class="page-header">

                  <h1 class="page-title"><?php printf(__('Search Results for: %s','kippis'), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1>

                </header>

                <?php kippis_content_nav('nav-above'); ?>

                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                  <div class="search-result">

                    <header class="entry-header">

                      <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'kippis' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

                      <div class="entry-meta">

                        <?php kippis_posted_on(); ?>

                      </div><!-- .entry-meta -->

                    </header><!-- .entry-header -->

                    <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>

                      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" ><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>

                    <?php endif; ?>

                    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

                  </div><!-- search-result -->

                <?php endwhile; ?>

                <?php kippis_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

              <?php else : ?>

                <div id="post-0" class="article post no-results not-found">

                  <header class="entry-header">

                    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e('Nothing Found','kippis'); ?></h1>

                  </header><!-- .entry-header -->

                  <div class="entry-content">

                    <p><?php _e('Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.','kippis'); ?></p>

                    <?php get_search_form(); ?>

                  </div><!-- .entry-content -->

                </div><!-- #post-0 .article -->

              <?php endif; ?>

            </div><!-- .search-results -->

          </div><!-- article -->

        </article>

      </div><!-- content -->

<?php

if ($kippis_is_smartphone) get_sidebar('left');

get_sidebar('right');

get_footer();

Nothing in your search results template. If I search for “outlaws” on your site, I see two results, both showing excerpts.

yes… but the first one is an excerpt that doesn’t contain the word “outlaws”, it’s only the beginning of the page that contain the word

Ah, that’s a different issue altogether. It’s a bug that will be fixed in the next version. If you want to fix it now, find the two calls to usort() in lib/excerpts-highlights.php and change them to uksort().
