Just finished our first drupal site. I noticed when doing searches the at the bottom of each result it shows some stuff like the username, date, comments etc.. Example. How do I disable that from showing up?
Thanks

You need to override this theme function:

http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/theme_search_item

Here's the customization I'm using in my theme's template.php file to only show the name and date for forum and blog posts:

// customizations to search results

function phptemplate_search_item($item, $type) {
  $output = ' <dt class="title"><a href="'. check_url($item['link']) .'">'. check_plain($item['title']) .'</a></dt>';
  $info = array();
  if ($item['type']) {
    $info[] = $item['type'];
    if (($item['type']=='forum topic') || ($item['type']=='blog entry')) {
      if ($item['user']) {
        $info[] = $item['user'];
      }
      if ($item['date']) {
        $info[] = format_date($item['date'], 'small');
      }
    }
  }

  if (is_array($item['extra'])) {
    $info = array_merge($info, $item['extra']);
  }
  $output .= ' <dd>'. ($item['snippet'] ? '<p>'. $item['snippet'] . '</p>' : '') . '<p class="search-info">' . implode(' - ', $info) .'</p></dd
>';
  return $output;
}

Im a newbie at this. I looked in my theme folder and dont see a template.php file. Where would I put this at?
Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming you are using a phptemplate-based theme. If so, you can just create a new file called template.php in your the folder containing the theme you're using. For example, if you are using Garland, the file already exsits at themes/garland/template.php

Since I assume you have a custom theme ("mytheme"), it should be located somewhere like sites/all/themes/mytheme/template.php
