Description

Ideally we would let admin's customize the search results completely. Ideally with a Gutenberg template of some sort. Some features we have heard about:
- always show an excerpt rather than the matching from the post content
- show images
- move the images around
- display dates
- comment counts

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating Jetpack's search overlay and its result-rendering implementation, then determine how the requested excerpts, images, dates, and comment counts could be customized; done would require an agreed template or customization design and verification of each supported result element.
