    I’m using the shortcode method with Ajax and a submit button and tried following this method to hide results until a search is submitted. The search results are hidden but then nothing shows when I submit the search. Do you know what could be wrong? I added the code to my custom results template.

    I tried setting the opacity of .search-filter-results to 0 and that seems to do the trick since an opacity of 1 is added inline once a search is completed. I would have liked to get the template code working but this solution will do.

    If you are using the Shortcode results method, and our results.php template file, it would look like this:

    global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1024)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // your template archive code/loop OR results.php code here
}

    Change 1024 to the ID number of your form (from the form shortcode).
