Hi
Thinking about this some more. In the WordPress Codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/found_posts
So that should give you what you the count that you want, yes? In a standard WordPress query, the query array is $wp_query, but your theme may have a customised version, but it should have the found_posts variable still.
If you take a look at this part of our documentation, Ross has added some examples that you could use to get the search terms in the fields/taxonomies.
https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/accessing-search-data/#Get_labelsfor_Multiple_Fields_by_Field_Name
I think you should be able to use these examples to make your own code? The last example especially (for you).
Hi, I took the results.php template from a sample I found in this forum, and it has always given 3 columns instead of 4. You can view the search at the development location here. Here is the entire current results.php:

* Note: This template has been modified to link search results
* images to artist pages that need to be defined in
* Custom Fields in the individual image post.
*
* The custom field is “artistpage” .
* The image in search results will incorporate the link you set

Hi, I am customizing the search results using some of the responses I found here, but I have a more specific request, and I’m having trouble finding the answer. Please let me know if it has already been asked.
My search results are currently in a grid format showing the linked title and an unlinked thumbnail image. The linked title is linked to the project page (the_permalink). Full results.php below.
I need to modify this so that the thumbnail image is linked, but it should be a link I can customize. I would like to customize the link using the Custom Fields when I create the project/post. For example, I would create a custom field called “artistpage” and define the link there. (Is this possible?)
The end goal: Users search artist projects until they find what they like, then click the image to reach the artist page. The artist page contains many portfolio examples that appear within the search, plus biography, contact info, etc – it can’t be an individual image post. (I have considered a redirect from the project/post page, but I’d rather use a direct link if possible. In either case, I need help adding the link to the thumbnail image.)
Thank you for your help and advice.

Hi Trevor,
In fact, i’ve a search.php file for my results. I wrote this code which appears on the top of the results :
global $searchandfilter;
global $post;
$author_id = $post->post_author;
$author = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id);
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(802)->current_query();
$num_res = $wp_query->post_count;
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_category").'<br />';
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_thematique").'<br />';
if($num_res == 0) {
echo 'Terme(s): '.$sf_current_query->get_search_term().'<br />';
}
echo 'Elément(s) trouvés(s): ' .$wp_query->found_posts;
I can display the author which is selected from the author select list but i don’t want to display anything if no author selected.
I need a valid snippet which might be :
if ($author_id != '0') {
echo $author.'<br />';
}
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
Hello Trevor,
What i meant : You give some snippets to display some informations like thais :
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(802)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_category").'<br />';
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_thematique").'<br />';
echo 'Terme(s): '.$sf_current_query->get_search_term().'<br />';
echo 'Elément(s) trouvés(s): ' .$wp_query->found_posts;
I’d like to have a snippet to display the author chosen in my select list. If i try that code, it doesn’t work :
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("authors");
Is it possible to realize this ? It’s not in your documentation.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
Yes this is resolved, all works like a charm.
For my post results count I change args of my query like this:
$args[‘search_filter_id’] = 77;
$query = new WP_Query($args);
$query->found_posts
Thank you for your help.
Best.
Pierre
Ooops. I tried to create a code box with bbcode but it seems it doesn’t work here. Sorry for that! Here you have it again.

Thank you very much for such a nice plugin. It works like charm and we are very happy with it! Up until now we have managed to sort out all the little problems we’ve had by reading the forum, but I can’t find a solution to this one.
I have added a “Search field” to my form and, whenever I deliberately look for a term that doesn’t exist, instead of displaying the “No results found” message, it returns all the items unfiltered. Is there a way to solve this?
It may have something to do with my results .php, which I have edited quite a bit, but I’m not sure. This is the code I’m using for it:

Hi Lisa
You can also let them search, but show them nothing (or a custom message) using this type of PHP code (change the number 1234 for the ID number of your search form and change the line echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; for whatever you want before the filter is used instead of the results – or remove for nothing at all):
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 {
// your theme template code here for the part that runs the loop, e.g. if ( $query->have_posts() ) .....
}
For example, if you were using the shortcode method. OK, if you have followed the documentation to make a copy of the results.php into a new folder called search-filter in your child theme or theme folder, then replace the contents of that template file with this:
<?php
