Search results showing all text from topic

I'm using RoboHelp 2019.0.14 (not Classic). I'm generating to Responsive HTML5 using the Azure Blue layout.

 

In the search results, I am sometimes getting all of the text from the topic in the Search pane. Most of the time it only shows a row a two.

 

Here's an example (with some of the text whited out on purpose):

    Thanks for your reply Peter. I found the issue (and workaround). The issue was happening on any HTML page that had a link in it and the link had "http" in it. 

    For example, this sentence would replicate the bug: "For more information, see http://adobe.com/"

    If I changed it to: "For more information, click here", the search results came out okay.

    An image would lose the content from search.

     

    Try creating a new topic and pasting the content from the old topic. See if that stops it. If not try creating a new preset.

    I haven't got any suggestions, but you can report bugs here: https://tracker.adobe.com/

    Post the item number in the discussion so people can easily vote if they want the same functionality.

    Congratulations on being the first person to manage that trick! 🙂

     

    The first thing I would check is whether this always happens with the same topics. Offhand I'm not sure where I would look next but first let me know if the problem is just a few topics or many.

    I'm seeing similar results from a topic that has examples that include "http" in the example, but those examples are not links, so that workaround won't work for me. Any other ideas?
