+Each listed result for a search will show some example text from the beginning of the linked page. It strips out HTML elements, but if there's any navigational text items, they will stay.
+
+For example, each search result on ikiwiki.info shows "(title) ikiwiki/ (title) Edit RecentChanges History Preferences Discussion" at the start of its results.
+
+A way to name some CSS ids that should be removed in search results within the ikiwiki setup file would work. Here's something similar that a friend proposed:
