Only Show Results Once Submitted

I am using the shortcode for search and results on the same page.

This all works fine. However as default the results shortcode shows all results possible before a search is made.

Is there a way to set it, that when you go to this page, it only shows the search bar, and then when a search is made, it shows the results, instead of showing all results as default?

Thanks Mike

You would need to be using our Shortcode Display results method (as you are), and have followed 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 = $searchandfilter->get(1605)->current_query();
if ((!$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
}
