More info on Search Results page?

How can I change this page to show more text per entry, and/or have it use smaller fonts?

I've already modified screen dpi setting for an overall smaller look to the UI, yet this page was not effected by that setting change, and is now looking out of place. Information per entry is also too brief in most cases.

I assume it's got something to do with reader.lua file located in the \frontend\apps\reader\modules\, folder, but I'm honestly a bit baffled by it.

.edit. Probably it's not managed by reader.lua, I tried changing all the values in there, and it had no effect on search page.

Upper menu Search - Settings - Fulltext search settings

While a book is open: Top menu - magnifying glass -> Settings -> Fulltext search settings ->

Increase 'Words in context:'.

For a smaller font, increase the number of results per page. (Max lines per result for flexible item heights must be disabled for this setting, but can later be reenabled and the font size remains.)

Thank you. Once I managed to set it to my liking, it's perfect.
