Spice up your internal sNews CMS search page with result descriptions

Here is a very simple way to add a nice extra touch to your internal sNews search results, by adding the meta description below each entry title. If you've ever noticed when doing a Google search, they will put the page's meta description just below the search title. This hack is super simple.

Step 1) As always, BACK-UP your snews.php file and work off a copy. Now find the function search and paste the two (scroll over if needed) following highlighted code snippets in the corresponding places;

$Or_id = implode(' OR ',$Or_id);
$query = 'SELECT
        title,a.seftitle AS asef,a.date AS date,
        c.name AS name,c.seftitle AS csef,
        x.name AS xname,x.seftitle AS xsef,a.description_meta AS description
    FROM '._PRE.'articles'.' AS a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN '._PRE.'categories'.' as c
        ON category = c.id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN '._PRE.'categories'.' as x
        ON c.subcat =  x.id
    WHERE '.$Or_id;
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $date = date(s('date_format'), strtotime($r['date']));
    if ($r['name']) $name = ' ('.$r['name'].')';
    if (isset($r['xsef']))  $link = $r['xsef'].'/'.$r['csef'].'/';
    else $link = isset($r['csef']) ? $r['csef'].'/' : '';
    echo '<p><a href="'._SITE.$link.$r['asef'].'/">'.$r['title'].$name.'</a> - '.$date.'<br />'.$r['description'].'</p>';

And boom goes the dynamite, you're done, and your results should now look something like below :)
