Your requirements slant towards using the_excerpt() with adding read more link by custom code: print 55 words – already this by default and adjustable via excerpt_length filter but react to <!–more–> – this already happens, auto-generated excerpt cannot be longer than teaser (part from start of post to <!–more–> tag) and if manual excerpt is … Read more

No. WordPress sanitizes the search query. To use the sanitized search query, use the_search_query() to echo, or get_search_query() to return, the search query. Edit Based on your edit: Don’t use $_GET[‘s’]. Use get_search_query(). Don’t use $_GET[‘cat’]. Use get_the_category(). All $_GET and $_POST data should be assumed to be inherently unsafe, and should be sanitized/validated accordingly.
