Question Limiting the Size of Posts in Forum Search Results

I suggest improving the usability of the forum search function.

Currently, found posts are displayed in their entirety. This makes viewing search results less convenient, especially when there are very long posts, including those with images.

I suggest introducing a parameter that limits the size of the found posts.
I don’t have a specific name for the parameter, but its meaning could be: “Number of lines in the post,” “Length of the found post,” or something similar.

I consider this parameter so essential that it deserves a place in the Frontend Configuration alongside Search Results or Search Time.

However, if changing the database structure is not desired, it is suggested to use a temporary field in the search form similar to the existing "Go to Results" field.

Well, since we are talking about improving the search, I will make one more suggestion about the search form.

In the drop-down menu, along with Search entire posts and Search titles only, I suggest adding the Search in Topics option.
The essence of this option: the search is performed as with the Search for entire posts, but if a topic with the desired words is found, then it is not included in the output anymore, that is, only 1 post is output from each suitable topic.
This prevents all posts from being displayed in unnecessary topics, which is especially annoying if such topics contain many posts.

This improvement is not as significant as limiting the size of posts, but it can also be useful.
