Wordpress modify returned search results

When I search on my wordpress site I want to filter the search results, namely, I want to remove the first line of each search result.

However wordpress returns the text with all newlines removed, just a chunk of text, so I can not decipher where the new lines are removed.

I tried overriding the

function wp_trim_excerpt($text)

Function, but the $text passed there already has new lines removed. Can someone point me in the right direction of where/when this happens so I can modify the function?

It's removed because the loop.php will use the_excerpt() for searches and archives by default. Change it to the_content() or create / use your own custom function to return the search results in the format you want it in.
