re: Is there a short code to clear the search result or show breadcrumbs?
Go to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Display tab and enable the “Show Clear Search Message” option.

re: is there a way to limit the bio displayed in the drop down and have a link that carries the text on to a new page?
Sorry, no, not with Slim Plus. It is possible with Excerpt Plus. The layout is a little different than Slim Plus because it shows photo and an excerpt of the bio. The biggest difference is that is hides just about all the rest of the fields by default, but they can be turned on and shown only in the single entry view.

Hope that helps!
