I’ve found topic threads that seem close to addressing this, but just want to make sure I’m not missing something:

I’d like all new topics to include a short preview of the topic content (in addition to topic title), just like how topics are displayed in search results - I’d like topics displayed that way on the main home page, and within category pages. Any way to achieve this right now?

Search results preview:

@grahamtrump thanks - still having trouble finding what you’re mentioning though, is this a setting or a style customization?

Install the [Topic List Preview plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/101646) and enable the topic excerpt setting.

Ah, thank you for the clarification! I’ve come across this before but unfortunately do not have an Enterprise account yet, and I think this plugin is limited to that level subscription.
