Hy folks,

After implementing the extension: Search in my site, I have tried to use  
\<r:truncate\_and\_strip [length=“100”] /\> tag but It doesn’t work how I  
want.

The problem: I need to display a snippet of the found pages and i tried  
this piece of code:

\<r:search:results:each\>

### 

but it returns much more than 50 characters.

I need some help, please!  
Can you give me an example?

Cheers

crick

You mis-spelled length.

unless that isn’t a straight copy and past from your code.

If this is your actual code, there is a typo in it. “length” is  
mispelled. Hopefully that is it!

Nice work guys, you got it!  
Sometimes I am very absent-minded.  
You have been very useful and quick.

Thank you very much.

Cheers
