$pageout['grand_total'] - Am I using this right?

For quite awhile now, I’ve been happily using Wet’s PHP snippet for custom “no search results found” messages. This afternoon I tried to follow his recommendation and use $pageout['grand_total'] instead of $thispage['total'], and things didn’t work out like I expected.

Here’s the code I used:

<txp:article pgonly="y" limit="50" category="Current" searchsticky="1" />
<txp:php>
  // AM 7-6-07: replaced $thispage['total'] with $pageout['grand_total']
  global $pageout; global $q;
  $query = htmlentities($q);
  echo( ($pageout['grand_total']==0 ?
  "<p>Your search for <strong>$query</strong> didn’t return any results. Test count: ".$pageout['grand_total']."." :
  "<p>Your search for <strong>$query</strong> ".
  "produced the following ".$pageout['grand_total']." results:</p>") );
</txp:php>

<ol class="search-results">
  <txp:article form="search_results" limit="50" searchsticky="1" />
</ol>

I ended up getting the “no results” message even when there were results. What’s really weird is that the test count I added produced nothing in the rendered page. Is this because I used searchsticky="1" in the first <txp:article /> tag? It looks like line 651 of publish.php (v4.0.4) could be what’s stopping me in my tracks here.

Related question: Would $pageout['grand_total'] even be the right thing to use here? It looks (lines 654 & 664) like $pageout['total'] is the one that takes offset into account, which was the whole point of this. Am I missing/misinterpreting something?

Thanks, Mary. I viewed the source of that plugin, and it uses $thispage['total']. My understanding is that this is not the preferred way of doing things (see the link in my original post). Am I mistaken?

I haven’t looked at the contents of Rob’s plugin.

What result do you get for var_dump($GLOBALS['pageout']);?

Any additional information on this? I’d still like to know if what I’m attempting is possible.
