Description

This ticket is different from #8473 (which addresses whether a search should include certain hits).

When search results are displayed, there is a short snippet of content from each hit. The email obfuscations is not performed on that snippet.

I have no personal issues with this bug, just reporting it for completeness.

Not quite sure about the version. I noticed it on this (Edgewall) trac instance.

But clicking the search hit will display it with obfuscation.

Keywords: email obfuscation added

This is really just a special case of #1502.

I did some hunting around. The preparation of the search results is done by trac.search.api.shorten_result, and we can see that it doesn't take any care to obfuscate the email addresses, or do any other wiki formatting.

On the other hand the timeline renderer calls a formatter, passing a RenderingContext. We could probably utilize the OneLineFormatter after calling shorten_result. It looks like shorten_result just attempts to extract a segment of text around the first matching term.
