If i look at search summary, that is used for BlogPost, summary returns only pure tekst, without links. Is it possible to show also links, and where can i fix that?

Discussion and Answer

The $summary() in a FormattedSearch format returns just plain text. You can add links as needed, assuming you have them available. For example, this Support forum application has a form with a field called "SupportCategory". With this you can create a SEARCH with a format that displays the fields with links. The table on can be formed that way, such as:

%SEARCH{ ... format="| ...|$n| Category: | $formfield(SupportCategory) | Server OS: | $formfield(Server OS) | ... |" }%

I have for example some attachments, that are linked in article:

[ [% ATTACHURL %/test.txt][test.txt] ]

Can i tell summary to make that link?

No, as documented, the $summary() in a FormattedSearch format returns just plain text. You could apply a RegularExpression $pattern(...) to pull out the first 140 characters, or the first two lines. Or you could use $text to show the whole text. Details in FormattedSearch.
