Showing the search query

I can’t seem to get the search query to show on my page. It does persist in the search box but Ideally I’d like to add a title to the page saying “You searched for…”

Echoing out the get_search_query(); isn’t returning anything. I’ve tried it both inside and outside of the loop.

It’s a pretty simple template …. here’s what I have:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php $search_query = get_search_query(); ?>
    <?php print_r($search_query);?>

<div id="thumbnails">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>

        <?php
        // Get the Post category
        $categories = get_the_category();
        $className = strtolower(esc_html( $categories[0]->name ));
        ?>

    <div class="thumbnail <?php echo $className;?>">
        <a class="thumbnail-link" href="<?php the_permalink();?>">
            <div class="thumbnail-overlay-text">
                View Image
            </div>
        </a>

        <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
    </div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Still Trying to get this to work to no avail. The WordPress default
get_search_query();
returns nothing.

You need instead to use code like this to get the query:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(339)->current_query();

Where 339 is the form ID.

You might need to dump the array to get an idea what is in it, but a search of the forum reveals some code snippets:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/search/sf_current_query+searchandfilter+current_query/

I think it is possible that the next major release (V3, which we are working on right now) will have a much better way of doing this).

OK thats I got it.

For anyone else who stumbles across this here’s the full code to output the Search Query

Firstly this gets the Query (change number to your search form ID) – place in the loop in your template:

global $searchandfilter;
  $sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(54)->current_query();
  $searchTerm = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();

and then you can echo out the query in your anywhere in your template
<?php echo $sf_current_query; ?>

Opps sorry that second line should be:

<?php echo $searchTerm; ?>
