Ajax Live Search

[Sambo258]

Hi, this is my first ever post.

I am trying to add more information to my Ajax Live Search

Currently it brings up this information on the top part of the image

When I want it to bring forward this information at the bottom

This is the current code that brings forward what you see in the first part of the image, but I want it to bring more forward like in the second image, what would you add to bring forward the relevant information? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

            $link = apply_filters('av_custom_url', get_permalink($post->ID), $post);

            $output .= "<a class ='av_ajax_search_entry {$extra_class}' href='".$link."'>";

            if ($image !== "" || $iconfont) {
                $output .= "<span class='av_ajax_search_image' {$iconfont}>";
                $output .= $image;
                $output .= "</span>";
            }
            $output .= "<span class='av_ajax_search_content'>";
            $output .= "    <span class='av_ajax_search_title'>";
            $output .=      get_the_title($post->ID);
            $output .= "    </span>";
            if ($excerpt !== '') {
                $output .= "    <span class='ajax_search_excerpt'>";
                $output .=      $excerpt;
                $output .= "    </span>";
            }
            $output .= "</span>";
            $output .= "</a>";
        }
    }

Well you haven't posted a whole lot to work with... Seems like $excerpt is empty. Where is that coming from?

Hi Requinix, The Excerpt is the date and time here is the full script for it
