Manual excerpts for pages not working on Search

You’re confusing “post type support” – which means enabling “feature” (and therefore MetaBoxes) for a post – with templating.

  1. Go into your theme, search for the search.php template in the folder.
  2. Add a Child Theme
  3. Add a file named search.php to your Child theme and copy/paste the content of your parent themes template file in there.
  4. Exchange the_content() with the_excerpt()

Keep in mind that this can highly differ from theme to theme. Some themes use “Template Parts” to add parts to build a template. Others use “Conditional Tags” to switch between parts in their code in fallback template files of the “Template Hierarchy” and others use filters or hooks to alter the output in a template.

Note: This answer is meant as a guide, not a copy/paste solution as the solution can highly differ from theme to theme.
