Customize initial results

Is there a way to display different information when the page first loads and only show results once the user makes some choices from the filters? I have two taxonomy dropdowns which allow the user to choose an industry and a specialty. I would like to show a message in the results area OR placeholder/anonymous results until the user makes a choice.

Thanks for your help.

If you have access to the PHP template files, you can use something like this (change the ID for your form ID):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  // your holding template code here
} else {
  // your normal template code here
}

Would this go in functions.php or in /search-filter/results.php?

In the results.php file. You would put the code already there into the second part, and then make your own for the first part.
