    Hey Ross,

    Is there a way we can create a custom message when a search does not produce a result (say if the user picks too many categories that don’t match a result)? Right now it just shows a blank page.

    It would be great to have the site say something like “No results matched your search criteria. Please try again.”

    Thanks!

    Hey Charley

    In your template you can add something like:

    global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
if($total_results==0)
{
    _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.');
}

    There are other examples in here:
