Removing author and content type information from Joomla search results modifies the displayed information, potentially streamlining the user experience by presenting more concise results. For instance, if a site primarily publishes articles, omitting the “Article” label from each result can reduce clutter. Similarly, if author information isn’t crucial for site navigation, suppressing it can create a cleaner aesthetic. This customization is often achieved through template overrides or extensions that modify the search results display.
A cleaner presentation of search results can improve site usability, especially on content-heavy websites. Presenting only essential information helps users quickly scan and locate desired content. Historically, search results often included redundant details, impacting scannability. The trend towards minimalist design emphasizes the importance of presenting information concisely, which this customization supports. This practice can also contribute to a more unified brand identity by removing potentially distracting elements from search result displays.
