Change search results background color

[Howardthebrit]

How can I change the background of the search results? Currently it’s white, which combined with white text makes the search results invisible, except for the “read more” text. I tried this css:

.search, .search table td{ background: red !important; }

… but that only changes the color of the table “behind” the search results, not the cell containing the results themselves. Any clues appreciated.

The search results does not use a table layout so there shouldn’t be a table behind the search results, and the text color of the search results should be the same color as other page text such as pages, posts etc.

Could you please provide me with a URL to take a look at?

This will make the background darker so the white text can be seen.
Add this to Customize > Additional CSS:

.post-wrapper {
    background: #000;
}

or   this to make it slightly transparent:

.post-wrapper {
    background: rgba(0,0,0,.7);
}

I can’t see any table layout in the search results so I hope this is what you are looking for.

yep – that’s it! Perfect, thank you!!
