if (!is_search() ) {..........}

I tried to wrap footer code in ATA (style and edit center column) to stop showing in search results, but that doesn't work.

I am not sure is this really called 'search results' as I am talking about posts/pages that are compiled by tags.

(last Atahualpa and WP version)

(so you are on Atahualpa 3.6.1 and WP 3.0.3?)

Atahualpa 3.6.4 WP 3.0.4

Could you explain a little more about what you are trying to do?

I am trying to disable post/page footer info to show in search/tag results.
When suggested list of posts appears, each has a visible admin, date, comments, social bookmarks etc that are in footer (though pages don't have footer configured, but those info still show).

add to CSS Inserts

body.search #footer {display:none;}
