If you do an advanced search on the discussion forum, the search results page shows titles, but no excerpts. Pretty sure this is not correct.

Grabbing this one, making it a 1pt because it should be straight-forward and putting it in the next sprint to do.

Making it a P3 since I don't think anyone noticed and therefore it's likely no one really cares.

Further, I want to figure out how long this bug has been around for. That might be useful information to add to this thread:

As near as I can tell, this broke a little over a year ago. It's hard to reproduce the site way back when without wiping my database which takes a half day to recover.

Looking at the stats in Ibai's article:

it doesn't surprise me no one uses this.

I'll fix this, but I'm pretty loathe to put any more time into contributor forum search changes/fixes going forward. If no one uses it, we should jet it or find a simpler alternative that's less effort to maintain.
