Show no results before making selections?

Can I make results not visible until selections are made instead of everything being visible first?

You would need to be using our Shortcode Display results method, 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 = $searchandfilter->get(1024)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // the results.php PHP code here
}

Make sure you change the ID number in that snippet to the ID number of your form.
