For example Phoca Gallery one:
This is a workaround I could try to go instead: How to show full article in Smart Search results or perhaps showing only sentences with relevant words. But I'm curious if there's any simple way to just strip the unparsed shortcodes instead.
This is something that really needs to be fixed inside the content plugins you're using. In this case, it's the Phoca Gallery plugin. It has a forum and an issue tracker where you can report the issue.
In the meantime, you can override components/com_finder/tmpl/search/default_result.php layout and add your customizations there. After this block:
if (!empty($this->result->summary) && !empty($this->result->body)) {
$full_description = Helper::parse($this->result->summary . $this->result->body);
}
Add this:
$full_description = preg_replace('/{.+}/', '', $full_description);
But beware this will strip any content between curly braces, not just valid shortcodes.
