1. In Drupal version 7.0 through 7.4, go into Admin -> Structure -> Content types.
  2. Select any content type and go into "Manage Display" tab.
  3. Under the "Default" sub-tab, activate a custom display setting for "Search result" and save.
  4. Look for a new "Search result" sub-tab to appear above.
  5. Select the "Search result" sub-tab and customize the display (I like to add a picture), and save.
  6. If you have not already done so, create some content, index your content via cron, then perform a search.

The display of the search result remains the default display. Changes to the custom display have no effect. The impression is that this is a very cool new D7 feature that never actually got connected.

That bug report is for Version: 8.x-dev. I hope it will get the attention required for 7.x as well?

I just tagged it for backport to D7. Any bugs in D7 that are also still bugs in D8 have to be fixed in D8 first and then backported.
