SimpleSearch displays no result message before searching

Hi All,

I have installed SimpleSearch. Now i am busy with configuring to have search box and results on one page. On the search page i have the following code:

[[!SimpleSearchForm? &tpl=`zoekResultatenTpl`]]

<h2>Gevonden</h2>
<p>[[!SimpleSearch]]</p>

So far it is working fine and fast and very happy. But if i am visitig the search page i see an empty search box and below a no result message. The message is shown before I have done a search attempt. I want to see the no result message after a search wich have no results. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Mark,

You can do this with a small snippet. Just create a snippet with following code:



Then call this snippet with an output filter like this:



This snippet returns searchstring and when empty (no search submitted) it will not fire the snippet SimpleSearch. So only when submitted form the results (or no results found) will be shown.
