Hi Ernest,
Please read my post above first… 😉
I just had one other idea to further improve the content-type in titles. The posts on our platform have eight possible post-formats. It occurred to me that it would be useful for post content-type results to also display the post-format.
It would look like this… (we call posts “shares” on our platform)
This is the Post Title
Shares
Article Format
So just underneath where it says Shares (indicating the content-type) we would display the post-format. In order for this to work I would need to be able to specify the proper name for each post-format in the title. This would also have to function for the default post-format (Article), which as we know is really a lack of any format. This is where I am worried this may be difficult to accomplish.
If this is something that can be done I do think it would be very helpful on our platform. As I said we have eight different post-formats and posts will make up the bulk of search results.
Everything we’re doing here with titles is to make mixed search results more clear. I doubt everyone will be using the settings screen (or even notice it), so having the titles help to differentiate the search results is a good thing!

New Bug Related to the No Results Container
Over the last few days I’ve been noticing this new bug in the search and just figured out what was going on…
It seems that the no results container (div.asp_nores) is displaying when it shouldn’t. I’m noticing this happening when I get to a higher number of page results in the isotopic display. If I switch between various ajax pages suddenly the no results text and container starts to display behind the actual isotopic result cards. It looks really bad when this happens, and I can make it happen every time simply by going to a higher page and switching back and forth between pages. You should be able to reproduce this on your end. I may be able to hide this container with some conditional css, but this should really be fixed on the back-end.
I took a look at the css btw, and there’s no way to hide this conditionally…
