Results count

#254656

Hi Trevor,

I wish to display the number of results generated by a query on the search results page. I found how to get the search term in your documentation.
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get($id)->current_query();
$term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();

How do I get the number of results?

Thank you,

Christian

The PHP would look like this, assuming the array returned by the wp_query() function in your child theme is named $query:

Found <?php echo $query->found_posts; ?> Results

Trevor,

I did try this:

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get($id)->current_query();
$term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
$count = $sf_current_query->found_posts;

I returns the term, but not the count. How can I get the results count from the Search and Filter query?

Thank you,

Christian

You will not find the count in the $sf_current_query array.

What display results method are you using?

Trevor,

It is a custom search results page. In the header, I wish to display the results count and the search term(s). Below that is a standard loop:

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘loop-templates/content’, get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Thank you,

Christian

You will need to find, within the theme files, what the array is named that the theme wp_query() function feeds its results into. The most common ones used by themes are either $query or $wp_query

Trevor,

It works.
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get($id)->current_query();
$term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
$count = $wp_query->found_posts;

Thank you,

Christian
