Search Results before Query is Submitted

Hi Trevor,

Hope you’re well.

Is it possible to change or remove the search results when no query has been submitted?

We’d still like to keep the alphabetical order for search results in general, so we can’t use that avenue, but my client is wondering if we are either able to show something else on page load or remove those items altogether (until a search query is submitted).

Thanks,
Joanna

Yes, you would need to edit the results.php file, as indicated here (changing the ID shown to match that of your form):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(6745)->current_query();
if ((!$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 (ALL the code from the if ( $query->have_posts() ) line and onwards)
}
