hi there,
is it possible to automatically display the first image from a post text in search results previews of a custom search?
so one had a preview image without having to define a post image...
THANK YOU, regards, Achim

Hi Achim,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I'm afraid, there is no builtin feature available in Toolset, which can get the first image from the post's content, automatically.

You can create a custom shortcode ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/how-to-create-a-custom-shortcode/ ) which gets the post's content and then extract the first available image.

Here are some relevant guides with example code snippets:
