Thanks for the suggestion. I need more convincing that this feature is actually necessary, because essentially the "search" page and the listing of questions is the same. I don't like that the same content is shown in two different ways (as in "questions" and the "main" page on stack exchange). Originally CNPROG was coded the same way and I have removed that duplication.
What showing an extra line or two is doing - is trying to compensate for often poor question titles. I prefer to work on encouraging creation of better titles - via specific features and educating users. Perhaps you as a owner of a content site should more often edit the titles to make them better.
That said - this behavior achievable via a custom theme.
edited I think I've misunderstood the question actually. This can be done either via an option or a custom theme.. if this request happens to be popular.
Sure, create a custom version of templates/widgets/question_summary.html in your theme (in a separate directory). I'd start with a copy of existing template. To access the summary you could use thread._question_post().summary (this may change in the future though, so it may require maintenance down the road).
