    Hi there...

    When a search is unsuccessful i receive this message:
    "There were no search results. Please try using more general terms to get more results."

    It’s possible to customize it? If yes, how can i do it?

        Go to: core\packages\simplesearch-1.1.1-pl\modCategory\d9c2df62b4278ac87f8cc7bcae8892f4\0\simplesearch\lexicon\en\default.inc.php.

        The folder 9c2df62b4278ac87f8cc7bcae8892f4\0\ might be different in your case.

          No, no no! tongue That’s wrong.

          Go to Lexicon Management, filter to the "SimpleSearch" namespace, and find the string there. Then double-click on it to change its text.

          *Never* edit package files directly. They will be erased on upgrade.

            Thanks for the explanation. The reason I wrote it the way I did is because I have installed the SimpleSearch snippet in Revo 2.05, but the SimpleSearch didn’t show up in either Namespaces or Lexicon Management under System settings in manager. smiley

              Look for ’sisea’. I think that’s SimpleSearch’s namespace.

                  Editing the package? Sweet, lol.

                  If I couldn’t find it in lexicon management, I would probably first look in core/components, but hey, that’s just me! lol


                  That said, Shaun’s right of course. tongue

                    Thank you guys...
                    Thank you.

                    I also thought in editing the core/components or making two SimpleSearch snippets because I’m building a two language website. However, if i do like Shaun says i’m customizing this "unsuccessful" message to both languages. I can manage this just taking off the text and putting a funny contextual image in the "unsuccessful" page. Just want to know, is possible to make it with a chunk or something like that?
                    Like so i could make the retrieve "unsuccessful" message customized to both languages without the need of two SimpleSearch snippets. If is not possible with a chunk or snippet (more simple than duplicating simpleSearch snippet) is really ok, i just use the image...

                    Again, really thanks for the support.
                    MODx team (apart that i don’t believe in Christmas and not even following the Gregorian calendar) i wish you ALL the best Christmas you can have and the most powerful New Year that it can be...
                    Thanks for this superb and great piece of CMS and hope that 2011 gives you ALL better things and feelings.
                    Thanks to community as well.

                    All the best,
                    Regards,

                      This is really good to know:
                      *Never* edit package files directly. They will be erased on upgrade.
