Hi everyone,

I'm using a search plugin (SimplisticSearch) which for the most part is brilliant. I'm having an issue with stray HTML finding it's way into my code though.

I have the title as the link to the node and then a short description underneath which is pulled from the main body text of the page. In this text, I'm getting image tags and a hrefs and I would like to remove them.

I've had a look around and found (what I think) is the correct RegEx code to do this, but I'm struggling to get it working. Code below:

<ul class="search-result">
@foreach (var node in searchResults)
{
    <li style="padding: 0 20px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #ccc;">
        <h4><a href="@node.Url">@node.Name</a></h4>
        <p>@Html.Raw(node.Description ?? "")</p>
    </li>
}

The (correct?) RegEx to use:

Regex.Replace(node.Description, "<.*?>", string.Empty)

If anyone has an elegant solution that just uses razor instead, that's also fine!

Thanks,

Tom
