Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?
Which Display Results Method are you using? With some, it cannot be done, with those using a PHP template, it can, with some coding. For example, using our Shortcode method …
… in which case you should follow the ‘guide to customising’:
https://support.searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/using-a-shortcode/
Once you have a copy of the results.php file in a search-filter
sub-folder of your theme, you can edit that file, like this (leave the PHP comments at the top outside and before this code):
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>';
} else {
// the current resuts.php code here
}
Where the ID number in this needs to match your form ID (replace 1234). Similar code can be used in your own PHP template file.
