I would like author and guest author names and biographical information to be included in search results. They are not being returned on our site at this time. 
Forgive me if I am missing something simple, I checked the documentation and searched previous questions.
Thank you.

Are tags also not included in search results? Is this intentional?

Technically, the info has been hidden from the search results page. However, if you want to have, you can take a look at the instruction below:
– To display the author information & Tags, you can do as the following:
1. Open the content-search.php file. Add the following code to the line 28.

  <footer class="entry-meta entry-meta-bottom">
                <?php
                    /* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
                    $tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'dw_focus' ) );
                    if ( $tags_list ) :
                ?>
                <span class="tags-links">
                    <?php printf( __( 'Tags: %1$s', 'dw_focus' ), $tags_list ); ?>
                </span>
                <?php endif; // End if $tags_list ?>

</footer>

Add the following code under line 31.

<div class="entry-author">
            <div class="author-info">
                <div class="author-avatar">
                <?php  
                    if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) && get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_author_meta( 'ID', $author ) ) ) {
                        echo get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_author_meta( 'ID', $author ), array(90,90) );
                    } else {
                        echo get_avatar( $author, 90 );
                    }
                ?>
                </div><!-- .author-avatar -->
                <div class="author-description">
                    <h2><a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_author_posts_url( $author ) ); ?>" rel="author"><?php echo get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author ); ?></a></h2>

<p class=”description”><?php the_author_meta( ‘description’, $author ); ?></p>

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) && get_the_author_meta( ‘website’, $author ) ) : ?>
<p class=”user-url”>
<span><?php _e(‘Website URL:’,’dw_focus’) ?></span>
<a href=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘website’, $author ); ?>” title=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘website’, $author ); ?>”>
<?php the_author_meta( ‘website’, $author ); ?>
</a>
</p>
<?php elseif ( get_the_author_meta( ‘user_url’, $author ) ) : ?>
<p class=”user-url”>
<span><?php _e(‘Website URL:’,’dw_focus’) ?></span>
<a href=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘user_url’, $author ); ?>” title=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘user_url’, $author ); ?>”>
<?php the_author_meta( ‘user_url’, $author ); ?>
</a>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( get_the_author_meta( ‘aim’, $author ) ) : ?>
<p class=”aim”>
<span><?php _e(‘AIM:’,’dw_focus’) ?></span>
<a href=”aim:goaim?screenname=<?php the_author_meta( ‘aim’, $author ); ?>” title=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘aim’, $author ); ?>”><?php the_author_meta( ‘aim’, $author ); ?></a>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) && get_the_author_meta( ‘yahooim’, $author ) ) : ?>

<p class=”yahoo”>
<span><?php _e(‘Yahoo:’,’dw_focus’) ?></span>
<a href=”ymsgr:sendim?<?php the_author_meta( ‘yahooim’, $author ); ?>” title=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘yahooim’, $author ); ?>”><?php the_author_meta( ‘yahooim’, $author ); ?></a>
</p>
<?php elseif ( get_the_author_meta( ‘yim’, $author ) ) : ?>
<p class=”yahoo”>
<span><?php _e(‘Yahoo:’,’dw_focus’) ?></span>
<a href=”ymsgr:sendim?<?php the_author_meta( ‘yim’, $author ); ?>” title=”<?php the_author_meta( ‘yim’, $author ); ?>”><?php the_author_meta( ‘yim’, $author ); ?></a>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!– .author-description –>
</div><!– .author-info –>
</div><!– .entry-author –>

2. Please follow the jetpack’s guideline in the Blog article on how to use Edit CSS here. http://designwall.com/blog/using-jetpack-custom-css-for-your-wordpress-site/
After that, just add the following code to the Edit Css.

.search-results .author-avatar {
    float: left;
    width: 6%;
}
.search-results .author-description h2 {
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 10px;
}
.search-results .entry-author {
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
    padding: 13px;
}
.search-results .author-description {
    margin-left: 50px;
}
@media (max-width: 480px){
  .search .content-inner .has-thumbnail .post-inner {
      margin-left: 3px;
  }
  .search .content-inner .entry-title {
    margin-left: 130px;
  }
  .search-results .author-avatar {
    float: left;
    width: 16%;
}
.search .content-inner .entry-thumbnail {
    margin-right: 20px;
}
}

Save it and see how that goes ! Let us know if there is anything else 🙂 Hope this helps !

Thanks Dominic, I have installed Jetpack, and we may or may not make this change. We are trying to avoid customization whenever possible, to keep things simple.
