    Hey again 🙂

    You’re not doing anything wrong, I’m thinking of actually adding this in as an option in the admin, but its really not too difficult to implement.

    What you would need to do is hide the div initially with CSS – which would be either .search-filter-results or #search-filter-results-1234

    Then you would need to display the results after the search has been initiated – you can do this with JS by attaching an event listener to detect when a search has completed:

    $(".searchandfilter").on("sf:ajaxfinish",function(){
console.log("ajax search complete");
//so load your lightbox or JS scripts here again
});

    Thanks

    Hmm…..we try to avoid customisations, so we would really appreciate, that we could controll this either globally or by from-basis. Imagine Google would show all results before you started typing……

    True, in that case you will have to wait for the option where no query is even performed until user interaction.

    In some scenarios it would be an advantage to have extra searchable content, rather than empty space.

    I agree, both approaches are useful and in fact we need both:
    A) Global search form –>Show nothing initially
    B) News Corner –> Shown all news, let visitor drill down by category
    So, a switch per FORM would be most appropriate and I would believe it would not be so hard for the developers to add this extra option that is handled in a small IF in the rendering…..
