Search for *emacs* (the word, not a tag). On the second page of search hits, you will see an entry for [this post](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/2284/keys-in-mode-maps/3635#3635) which has an accepted answer (from some time ago), but the search-hit entry does not indicate acceptance. ![enter image description here][1] Seems like a bug. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/CV2O3.jpg ---- @rolfi points out that this is the behavior to expect currently: *status quo*. So if you do not want to consider this a bug then please consider it an enhancemnt request: Show users the following in all search hits (i.e., including answer hits): * Whether the question **has** an accepted answer. * For a particular answer search hit: whether that answer **is** the accepted answer. I'm guessing that wouldn't be too hard, and it would help users.
