Displaying message if no search results?

Just wondering if it’s possible and how you’d go about displaying a message like “your search returned no results” if the search comes up with not results rather than just displaying a blank page?

Re: Displaying message if no search results?

Hi! Thanks for the link.

I was looking at Mary’s example of

<code>
<txp:if_search>

<txp:chh_if_data>

<!— we searched, and there were results —> <txp:article />

<txp:else />

<!— we searched and nothing was found —> <p>No results found.</p>

</txp:chh_if_data>

<txp:else />

<!— we didn’t search for anything —> <txp:article />

</txp:if_search>
</code>
<br />
But I’m still not sure where I’m suppose to put this code? Would be in the search_results form?

You’d normally put it in your default page template. Replacing your <code><txp:article /></code> tag
