Truncate long abstracts in search results #7

Closed jnkindi closed 3 years ago

jnkindi commented 3 years ago

[x] Added truncate of 500 to limit abstract words that show on the search result to be 500 words

Looks good! :+1:

Oh, checked too quickly! If we're going to add this to Kerko, I think it should be controlled by a setting. Perhaps a value of 0 would mean to not truncate the abstracts, and any other integer value would mean to truncate at that given length. Perhaps the default would then be 0, to avoid changing the previous behavior for existing users.

Until that is implemented, you could always override the template in your app and truncate from that template.
