Description
Searching returns hits whose matched term isn't visible anywhere on the result card. The search index appears to run against full post content, while card excerpts are truncated to a fixed length. If a match occurs past that cutoff, the search still finds it, but the rendered excerpt never shows it. Leaving unverifiable hits.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to https://opensource.posit.co/people/hadley-wickham/
- Search "elevators"
- Results appear, but no card's visible title/excerpt contains the word
