SEO Page title and meta description for search results

Is there any way to add a custom page title and meta description for specific search results? So if a user selects “Baseball bats” as the product type and let’s say “Size 32/29” for the size when S&F returns the search results, have a specific page title, meta description and also allow for a text widget box at the bottom of the page to add your own content for the search result?

If not, is there a way to do this with wordpress and is this something you would consider for a future version?

Thanks!

Hey John

You can do this yourself by accessing the wp_query object, but it can be a bit tricky.

S&F 2.0 will have some functions which makes retrieving this info a lot easier 🙂

Thanks

Excellent. So would you suggest I wait until V 2.0 to try this out?

And are there any tutorials or any instructions, at least something general that would help me insert page titles, search result titles, and maybe some text at the bottom of the search results for a variety of different searches the user does?

Thanks again for all the help and the awesome plugin!

I too face the same dilemma. The search results page title (in the browser tab) is empty. Can you elaborate more on the wp-query.
BTW: When is S&F 2.0 due to be released?

Thanks

Just writing the docs – so any day now 🙂

I think its best to hold off for a second until 2.0 as there are nice wrapper functions for this so you don’t need to be looping through the wp_query object.

Thanks
