Search result pages often need more than text. The original case behind this article involved AjaxSearch output that also had to work with image-heavy data coming from MultiPhotos or MultiTV.
Main Challenge
Search snippets usually understand documents first. Image galleries and TV-driven media structures have to be mapped in explicitly if you want visual results instead of plain text links.
What Helps
- keep a clear cover image or primary visual field for each resource
- do not force the search layer to parse every gallery structure in full
- normalize output data before it reaches the result template
If search cards depend on several addons at once, the safest approach is to define one predictable image source for search output and treat the full gallery as secondary content.
