RE:how to get an editable text field on a page to show in a repeater
Hello,

I have just tested your transformation snippet within a repeater and it works fine for standard repeater with Documents as a source.

For search results, however, it will not work as those results are not "documents".

Should you need to display content of found documents, please use the method described at http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?smart_search_transformations.htm i.e. 
Eval("content")

Also, please check your Search field mappings as described at http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/document_type_properties.htm
