WP Search on modularity modules hits drops one result while "in_the_loop"

[andersrehn]

Using the standard WP search where a modularity module contains hits, one of the search results will be lost when using the while(have_posts()): the_post() syntax.

Error is caused due to global $post; already containing the first search hit when the code enters while(have_posts()). Calling the_post() will result in WP fetching the second search result. If just one result is found the page renders as if no results were found.
