Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to modify how a custom post type looks when it appears in native WordPress search results.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No.

I've attached the results I want to edit.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link (custom post type is excluded from search at this time)

Hi Andy,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

This search page is actually an archive, so you will need to create a custom archive page for your search by going to Toolset -> WordPress Archives.

From here you can then proceed to customize how you want your search results to display.

Thanks,
Shane

I'm a bit confused about where the archive editor is.

Can you give me more specific instructions on where to find it?

I created an archive in the location you specified, but it didn't effect search results.

Hi Andy,

Right now your archive is being displayed using the default theme styling.

To change this you will need to create a custom archive page for the search. Go to Toolset -> WordPress Archives and click on Add New.

From here select the Search/Results archive and then you should be able to start customising how you want this archive to display.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
